Crystals, Ramtha, magic pyramids, Nostradamus, crop circles, self-fellatio, the chakra con: to all these I would say, "Bah, bunk!." But lately, irrefutable evidence of the paranormal has been creeping into my daily life. So attention all ye naysayers: read on...and BELIEVE 1. There was this song going through my head. A song they never, *ever* play anymore. "Afternoon Delight" it was. "--rubbing sticks and stones together makes the sparks ignite, and the thought of loving you is getting so exciting. Skyrockets in flight..." Well, anyhow, I flipped on the radio and THEY WERE PLAYING THAT SONG!! 2. I was trying to undo the twist tie from a bag of Wonder Bread. I saw that I was twisting it the wrong way because it was getting tighter. So I stopped, and started twisting it the other way. AND IT KEPT GETTING TIGHTER!!!! 3. So I'm walking across campus and I see someone I think I know. Only as I get closer I see it really wasn't the person I thought it was. So I keep walking. And then all of a sudden, out of the blue, who do I see but THE AFOREMENTIONED FRIEND!!! Coincidences, you say. Easily-explained phenomena. Yeah, and I suppose bending keys is just a trick, too. Right. RICHH ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
