Yeah, I'd agree.

We tend to forget that a lot of impressionist and abstract artists did know how to paint quite realistically, but deliberately painted differently from the traditional method.

I may not like all of Picasso's work, but he certainly knew how to paint. This was definitely a look into how the painting developed, and how the artist's own vision changed over the course of the painting.

Cool.

I heard about it, and I think it's nuts.
Urban legend time. I think they are trying to drum up a little cross-border nonsense.
So you plant a bug in someone's money. It's money - they're going to spend it, duh.

They're not going to take it back home with them. US stores don't take Canadian money.

The test itself is not impossible. The people the test asks for are not "nervous" people scared by audiences. They are fakes and charlatans, performers.

They don't want to take the test because they cannot pass the test, even though Randi allows them great leeway.

The only thing Randi asks is that they have some way to prove what they say they are doing is actually happening. That happens under scientifically controlled conditions.

We all know that magicians are not actually sawing women in half, for example. James Randi would ask the magician to saw the woman in half, then have a qualified physician inspect the sawn torso to determine that the body has actually been sawn in half, and then see if the woman can be put back together. If he does it, and she lives, the magician gets the million dollars. Case closed.

If Uri Geller can bend a spoon with his mind (an invaluable talent), then all he has to do is demonstrate that talent under scientific conditions, not under conditions controlled by himself alone, where he can fake the results.

Quackery and superstition have been around forever. Quit trying to dress up quackery and superstition as something "new age" - we don't know the whole universe. No, we don't know the whole universe, but, as they say in South Park, John Edwards is the biggest d**che in it.

It's all just the same old bulls**t, to quote Penn and Teller.

Call me skeptical, but...

If it were really that high up, why don't the paramedics appear to be exercising more caution?

Are they that reckless?

Something fishy about this picture.

People just have to learn that they can't treat wild animals as pets.

Attacks like this are bound to happen, no matter how far you remove these tiggers from their natural environment.
