If you could say anything you want to the person who has hurt you most in life, what would it be? Did you ever confront them? Why or why not? Submitted By |

Apparently a scientist in Dan Brown's latest book says "We have scientifically proven that the power of human thought grows exponentially with the number of minds that share that thought." OK, let's leave the question of the power of human thought on one side. I'm cool with a bit of psychokinesis, for example. But "exponentially"? So if, say, Uri Geller can bend a spoon, two Gellers can bend two spoons, but three Gellers can bend four spoons, four Gellers can bend eight spoons and twenty can bend a gigaspoon. Get a hundred together and you could probably shift a planet. |

The question is not "Do you believe?" but "What do you believe?" or "Who do you believe?" I don't believe astrologers because I don't believe in astrology, so that's simple. There are plenty of good reasons not to date someone, but their having been born on a day that some astrologers associate with a certain mythical figure and other astrologers associate with a different one (depending on whether they believe precession is important) … no, I don't think I'd factor that one in. With online psychics, it's different. I do think it's likely that some people have abilities that are generally, if infuriatingly vaguely, termed "psychic"; I just don't think anyone is likely to be able to exercise these abilities online, at least not to the extent that they can advise me on my party plans. On the other hand, if my weird Azeri friend Şahlan told me to stay home, I'd stay home. |

Wolves receive death sentence from Swiss for exceeding sheep quota. I'm kind of torn on this whole "re-wilding" thing. Sure, it's nice to have wolves and bears and dragons, but we have to remember that they're rare (or non-existent, in the British case) for a reason: they kill things. There again, we kill sheep too. The first comment on the article is also amusing—the poster wants to get rid of "planetary socialism" and feed "the hungry and down trodden in Africa and Asia." |
