Yeah she was pretty good in True Romance but I don't know what she was thinking with Lost Highway. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

None that I am aware of in a controlled setting. Sylvia Browne comes to mind of a successful psychic who is good at the speaking in general terms stuff. The woman on the show "Medium" is supposed to be pretty good too though.

Both are demonstrated frauds. Ms Brown in particular is a life long con artist. Coincidently both are subjects of articles in the Mar/Apr issue of "Skeptical Inquirer"

You're god, and you spent a great deal of your time (although you do have lots of time since you existed forever) planning the entire future. I mean you've really done your homework. You figured out where and when butterflies are going to flap their wings so that hurricanes and monsoons will happen.

Now, everyday, you get three billion telephone calls from people calling you different names asking you to change your plans.

It sucks to be god. <u>George Carlin's argument non-verbatim.</u>
