Social research... not just paper research hehe.

i always wanted to ask something random like

Who won the last 5 OSL? and the last 5 MSL?

if she can guess, then i'd want to watch her play idra on TLAttack

"oh, you mean that computer game starcraft? yes, my son is a progamer, i helped tarot his way into the big leagues"

My guess is your father got lulled into the moment and kind of forgot about what actually went on. Psychics just say generalities and the victim becomes drawn into the experience and feeds them information on their own. Often times, they're the ones that come to conclusions, not the "reader."

If your father had blatantly lied to the woman instead of trying to be truthful, she probably would've been lead off course to some bullshit story about pinetar and goose feathers.

I personally dont believe in mysticsm, religion,ghosts or anything of the sort. It's been viewed upon that most of these "fortune tellers" or "ghost whisperers" are nothing more than people that are really good at manipulating other people, in most cases using cold reading. The logical answer is that any of this is not real, but the human mind is pretty fragile and can be easily decieved into believing things are real when they are not.

btw, maybe they're hypnotists. we all know that's real, so when you're in a dark room by yourself, they're hypnotizing you and you come out like "OMFG$@%#$%@!!!"

If that is true, it's amazing!
BTw. That might have something to do with precognitive dreams... though I'm not really sure.

I've actually had a couple of dreams where I dreamt a van would crush a bird and it actually happened few days after when I was in it :S. I'm not a believer and don't usually swallow things that I haven't experienced or proven before, but I'm definitely not the kind of narrow minded skeptic that thinks everything that escapes mainstream science is mumbo-jumbo.

if they could really predict stuff like that, then they should already know their own futures... and then, can't they just change it so that they have perfect lives, since they "know the future..."

if they really had such power, they'd be rich or not working anymore because they don't need to. Even if it's not about money, they shouldn't have any problems because they can foresee them and prevent them.
