Title: 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...

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

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.

That woman is so funny to me since I used to be a phone psychic. She doesn't even bait. AHAHAHAHAHAAA.

Post by: pickled kitten on August 23, 2007, 12:51:20 PM: 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....

Post by: Paladin on August 23, 2007, 01:18:23 PM: 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.

Hmmm...phone psychicry sounds great actually.
