When I'm sleeping on the bus I always wake up at least a couple of minutes before I'm supposed to get off :b

all I can say is...

your family must have the worst luck, I mean by the sound of it your neighbors keep dying, your relatives are depressed...alot, your cousin was killed in a car accident and your "lady beside your uncle" was gang-raped by "three black men"

so you either live in the south or something's not right... but that's just me

My father took me to work once when I was a child. There was a magnet on his desk and I asked him what it was for. He said he used it for holding paperclips, and I told him I wanted to try it. So he slides the magnet over towards me and hands me a paper clip. Not yet very familiar with magnets, I set the paper clip down about a foot away from the magnet, and the paperclip slides across his desk to the magnet. I thought it was very neat. But my father was confused that the magnet was so powerful and decided to try to reproduce it. It turns out that at 1 foot away and then even as close as 1cm away the magnet was not strong enough - it could only hold the paperclip in place once against it. I long for the next time such a bizarre event occurs before my eyes.

Jangalomph, you should try to gather legitimate scientific samples. If you can perform this at will, you should be able to narrow down what it is that allows you to do it - be it natural or super natural.

supernatural is kinda a misnomer. It just means something that is beyond the reasoning of science I think - which may just mean our science is not yet adequate. Example: ghosts

bah, you and your fancy words that translate to mean the opposite of what it is...

English has to be the only language where you can watch you house burn down as it burns up...

where extraordinary does not equal extra ordinary

Its strange that you never hear someone say "i dont have the ability to know what people are thinking".
Everyone has the basic ability to know what someone else is thinking. Tone of voice, expression, words being used, etc etc-
The fact that someone feels odd and then a disaster happens isnt a miracle or anything strange because you have simple concluded that was what it was. Your trying to find the link to make it a hit.
See this crap all the time from Colin Fry :

"im seeing a Man or it could be a women who died recently, does this relate to anyone in the audience "

Well yes- all of them DOH

A few random things like me and my friends have totally syked each other out by saying a completely unplanned random sentence at the exact same time...we proceeded to laugh for about 20 minutes afterwards...thats happened on more than one occasion.

The most recent was I totally guessed the total cash taken for the day at my work within 35pence (it was 1749.65)
that was cool.

Say hello to 'Perceived circumstance'.

It's a very interesting placebo effect, but not in any psychological study. The New Scientist comes across it occasionally with experiments and urban myths.

Allow me to add my counterpoint your erroneous belief.

You have simply ignored every single time you have not seen/heard/percieved something occuring because the brain is hardwired to notic change, not continuation. Ergo, when your friend calls and you're all "I WAS JUST THINKING OF YOU OMG" you've simply ignored the hundreds, if not thousands of times it hasn't happened. A one in a thousand chance? Perfectly logical and applicable.

What's more, subconciousness plays a massive part in a great deal of decisions and expectations; particularly on things we don't actively pick up on such as human pheromones and the like. They're working just as they would with any other animal.

While I could rattle off a great number of reasoned, unbiased arguments, I will admit about 80% of higher brain function we do not understand or grasp. It may be junk or just background - it could be something related to a long-forgotten biological system.

In whatever case, I think "psychics" are a bunch of bullshit. Ghosts do not exist and foreboding is grounded in science somewhere; even if it's merely preconception.

I also believe that I'm on this planet for 70 years tops and being a spiritualistic dickshit is not going to get me anywhere. We are humans. Sacks of minerals, blood, water and tissue. The brain is potent, yes, but worrying about it or getting all mysterious about it is worth fuck all. You're an animal. You're intelligent. Get on with it and stop being a pariah.

Am I a sceptic? Yes, at heart.

Do I require things "concrete"? Yes, because otherwise you're chasing fiction.

Are you wasting energy over thinking you're superior or some strange creature? Yes. Everyone wants to be different.

I thoroughly advise watching some Carl Sagan and Discovery Channel on the Universe as a whole. If you're interested on how utterly insignificant you really are, PM me and I can get my favourite videos sent over.

I'm just a bloke. Not a philosopher or a psychic, or a hippy or whatever. And so is everyone else.

Bar Mao. She's a girl.

That was AWESOME!

I agree pretty much 100% with you. And I dislike when people take something happening so far out of context that it becomes some sort of psychic event.

That there was fantastic...
