He was my bitch.
Not that I was anything special.
At JNE, he was everybody's bitch.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Don't miss out the best parts - random Depeche Mode clips and jpegs of Henry Hoover.

For those of you who don't believe in the paranormal and psychic abilities, you may find this video amazing. Feel free to comment on how amazing it is, but please don't spoil the content for everyone after you have watched it, or if you have seen it before
You may have heard of James Randi, he has issued a challenge where he will pay a large sum of money to anyone who can prove to him under suitable test conditions the existence of some paranormal or psychic ability. Here is a video of a guy beating the challenge. I was stunned, because before this video I didn't believe in the supernatural either. Towards the end of this video, I was totally shocked because I know James Randi is almost impossible to fool, so this must be the real deal. I kept telling myself this must be a trick, but I just couldn't see how it could be. I have watched him debunk loads of people without breaking a sweat. Watch and enjoy!
I felt a bit let down at the end, I thought he had made a computer that could read physiological reactions or something really fascinating like that.

"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions" - Leonardo da Vinci
"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
I told my "psychic" aunt about the James Randi prize money, however she said that she refused to use her psychic powers for material gain. I told her I would be more interested in having such tests done for science, not material gain.
Either this guy actually claimed the money, or it is a hoax.
You might ask her why she couldn't try to win the money then give it to charity. No material gain.
