hahahahaha....
So instead of a proper scientific response to published work, a cut and paste standard "debunking" for use in all forums (including this one, apparently) is considered "scientific" enough for the skeptical cohort. OMG! That's too funny, FDRS!
Hahahahahahaha....:DThis is my favorite:
"If telepathy is involved why did the child had not always 100 percent?"
Only if they believed they were watching a documentary.
I don't get the credit. That was radicalpolitik.Thanks for calling my attention to this one. Missed it the first time through!
An inability to distinguish between fact and fiction (viewing Star Trek as a documentary) may have an impact on their research (controlling for bias, etc).Why would that be an issue for you?

It looks like a real game-changer.
hahahaha..... Good one!It definitely sounds impressive! Hell, even Linda thought so :-O
Good question. I wonder how much research ends up in published journals? Usually? ... I've no idea...Isn't research usually made available in papers that are usually published in journals?

I'm not realy sure why this is so funny... If we knew what percent we should expect; we could all laugh at the ridiculous inaccuracy. Any ideas?
You always crack me up.:DA billion to one against chance is fair.

Alex Tsakiris: Let me interject here. Do you recall what were some of the first instances of that that you bumped into that you really thought, ‘Wow, this is interesting,’ and then you followed it up and found that there weren’t good answers coming back?
Dr. Diane Powell: Yes. The first one happened when I was a teenager. A friend of mine traveled in the circus during the summer and invited me over to his house because the magician that he traveled with was there. He had talked very highly about him. His name was Jay Michelle and he did Houdini-like tricks, but when I met him he wanted to show me some other things that he could do. He had me stand across the room from him, which was about maybe 15 feet away. There was a bookshelf behind me with around 1,000 books. He said, “Pick any book out. Open it up to any page and as you’re reading it I’ll read it to you.”
And he did just that…. for several books and several pages. It blew my mind. When I asked him about it he said, “Oh, that’s just a magic trick. It’s just magic.”
I said, “Okay, okay. I guess it’s just magic.”
I asked my father about it and he said, “Well, there is this controversial topic called telepathy and that’s what it sounds like to me.”

What were the chances of the magician knowing the words on that page?
