"He's sort of what I would say is the John McLaughlin of psychics. 'You're wrong! Stick with what I'm doing. I'm right. You're wrong.' … And he drills them until they finally either cave in and give up or they find some connection," Shermer said.

. . .

For more than 35 minutes, Edward quizzed Pressman with dozens of questions and observations and names. Only a handful turned out to be vaguely relevant; only one thing he mentioned was a concrete "hit." He guessed Pressman's wife's name. One good hit — out of 41 tries.

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Get 'em dawg! Woooo Hooo! Get 'em!

Shouldn't this belong in general skepticism?

Probably right. In my joy I failed to catalog this properly.

Moderator? Hal, a little help please?

Shermer is a famous skeptic. I think he is the editor of a skeptic magazine. He is a good guy and you like him, Yahweh.

(I know who Shermer is, I was just pointing out that the name is misspelled "Edwards" rather than "Edward"... anything to add bulk to my postcount...)

You might want to consider cutting down... your posts are starting to make you look chunky. ;)

Sorry about the wayward 's'. Comes from hearing it that way too often on the news, "John Edward's Crossing Over"

What I actually forgot about was the apostrophe!

And instead of adding bulk, maybe you should consider a laxative?

Even if he doesn't know @#$%@$% about genetics.
