Quote of the day.

[theweaselking]

People of the Earth,

As of today, science has found no evidence that human beings have paranormal powers. No ESP, no psychometry, no telepathy, no telekenisis, no pyrokenesis, no distant reading, no communication with the dead.

Also, despite what you see in the movies or read in comic books, there are no human beings on the planet with super powers. No flying, no sticking to walls, no stretching, no invisibility, no human torching, no unearthly agility, no super strength, no super breath, nothing of that nature.

Once again, as far as science can prove today, no human being on the planet has anything resembling super powers, psychic powers, magical powers, or any other kind of power that does not correlate with the laws of physics.

So please, for the love of Odin, stop expecting me to have powers that are not demonstrable by other human beings and please stop insisting that you have some sort of supernatural ability that makes you different from every other human being on the planet.


Thank you,


John Wick

Does a reality-distortion field (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality_distortion_field) count as a superpower?

No, it is a divine gift bestowed upon the holy and mighty Steve Jobs for he gave unto us a great gift and the FSM blessed the greatest mind in IT ever as a reward.

You know, anyone who claims to have supernatural abilities obviously does not have a good grasp of the english language.

Definition 2 a from Mirriam-Webster: departing from what is usual or normal especially so as to appear to transcend the laws of nature. (italics mine)

But really, someone not having a good grasp of the English language is sadly not all that surprising.

Or financial sense. If they really had supernatural abilities, they would have claimed their million dollars (http://randi.org/research/index.html) by now.

The US Government (CIA especially) researched remote viewing between 1972 and 1995. They spent millions of dollars researching it. They didn't find anything, and many of the 'remote viewers' were proven to be frauds.

I read the thread on Shadows and Essence, or whatever the hell that place is, too. I love you, John. In a completely heterosexual way.

LadyHydralisk? Yeah, I could weep.

(If it's someone else, *I don't wanna know about it*.)

Mine!

...oh, wow. Apparently I do have a territorial streak in my bleeding-heart, knee-jerk, arts-student body. Who knew?

> In a completely heterosexual way.

Thank god. For purely paactical reasons, I'd hate to fight you for him.

Wow. There just simply is nothing like a good ripe slice of Wick melodrama.
