Thankfully.

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.'

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)

Sorry about that.

I had to BS in order to allow others to feel the weird range of emotions when I innocently watched it!

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.

EDIT: Nevermind.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
