Aren't psychics great?

You'd think a poor psychic that has to do phone readings to get by in life would love to take up Randy's million dollar challenge, but seems like no tackers yet...

I hate that bitch.

In brighter news, one state (NJ?) just made all psychics illegal and closed them all down.  I like that.

I don't think banning them it's a solution. Maybe it'll decrease their praying on grieving widows and parents, but to some it will make them more interesting and romantic. Not too democratic either.
Anyway, i didn't find anything about that, just some people calling to make it illegal. Maybe it was Iran?   :-)

The only solution would be to teach people critical thinking, then they would die out by themselves. But as far as i can tell, in the US there's a big offensive on that (teaching children critical thinking in schools) right now.

But there could be a law stopping the police and such wasting resources and time on psychic's tips.

You used to be a telephone psychic?  How did you lose your powers?  Were you sad?  Did you see it coming?

I think I'd make a great phone psychic, I'd likely make more money than I do at the present call center I work at.

Being a phone psychic was the easiest work I ever did. Too bad Ms Cleo got sued and we all lost our jobs. :(

Especially since I have no psychic powers what so ever....

Well, i usualy guess my user's passwords. It's just amazing how 1234 or the user's name just pops in front of my eyes when they forget.

I also start any work phone conversations with "Try plugging it", and it solves the problem in 90% of calls (except when they try to plug the ethernet cables in the power outlets, but that's another story).

Does that mean i have psychic powers? I should charge more.

I've done some fairly eerie cold reading style activities before (and I'm always the jerk in the corner who moves the Ouija board pointer at parties), I always figured that meant that I could be a cult leader as a fall back. Hmmm...phone psychicry sounds great actually.
