US man sues psychic who 'promised to remove ex-girlfriend curse'

[Brian37]

So you say. The patent office is full of failures and successes, the only difference is who makes it work.

Even with religion, both you and I know, and accept that Islam is nothing but a copy of Christianity and Christianity is a copy of Hebrews and Hebrews got their ideas from the poly theistic Cannanites.

Yes, Coke and Pepsi both exist, but neither were the first beverage, water was. 

Again, you have yet to explain to my why it is P.T. Barnum is so widely falsely  quoted as being the origin of that quote.

I can tell you the reason. The same reason American history has been so fucked up in thinking "Pilgrims" "settled" America when the reality is that white Europeans invaded America. 

So who invented the hamburger? Who invented the hot dog? Who invented sliced bread? 

There is always going to be ambiguity to who did what first and as tribal and competitive as our species is, it still remains, that what humans remember always is based on a past. There is only innovation, but there is no such thing as an idea that pops out of nothing.

I did explain why Barnum is associated with that quote - the Cardiff Giant. You should know this - it was in the article you linked.

Hamburger: Hannah Glasse
Hot dog: Anton Ludwig Feuchtwanger
Sliced bread: Otto Frederick Rohwedder

Apropos of nothing, I’m thinking of starting a betting pool about how long you can go without using the words ‘tribal’ and ‘species’.

I am betting you cant go a nanosecond without being pedantic. 

You cant even give me credit for admitting Barnum didn't say what I thought he said. 

ABBA is the center of the universe.
