Possibly not stalking, but not nice, either.
This is why your advise was so good, FluffyPersian.

No, Robin told the butterfly story on her own blog, too. Mentioned butterflies several times, actually.

That may just have a chance of working.

He's probably feeling a "t" name from somewhere in the vicinity of this corner of the internet.

He may want to know if you recently bought a refrigerator!

Hey, that's me! My cat Chakotay is stretched out in the windowsill next to me, and I was thinking of going down to open the refrigerator.
That is uncanny! How did he know that?

That's nothing.
A cat of mine named Toffee wanted his chin rubbed and I've opened the fridge 3 times this afternoon.
Spooky, nicht wahr?

Real spooky, ja.

ETA: is Toffee orange, just like mine? Then the spookiness would really be too much for a coincidence, because I just opened the fridge to pour myself a Jägermeister. Like you knew I'd be walking in with German on my mind.

Unglaubliche spooky.
Toffee IS a marmalade tiger. With honey coloured eyes.
Do you reckon the million is within our grasp?

<gasp>It must be. This is sooo spooky.

Oh, there is something coming through. I see the face of an elderly gentleman to the upper left of you, he shakes his head sadly.
He gives me a word starting with co... con... coin... Does that ring a bell?

Whoa! That is so spooky. Just ten minutes ago I was commenting to my spouse that we needed to pick up some change because we have no 10 Baht coins to make change and I'd thus used up most of our 5 Baht coins yesterday, making change.

And... we have a REFRIGERATOR!

Coinbit!
Of course!
I was wondering about sinking the millions a Nigerian prince is gong to send me into coinbit.

Aren't you glad there are reliable witnesses to this psychic breakthrough?

Now there are four of us, I think?
Shall we get on with changing the world with our psychic powers or take the money and run?

Nah, we are not in it for the money. That is the only thing we have in common with those fake psychics. We'll just want a modest percentage of every lottery prize we predicted correctly.

Have you noticed that generally speaking, lottery numbers somehow evade psychic powers?

The plastic coverings on those ball-picking machines repel the psychic rays.

No, no, you are missing the point. Every time I predicted them correctly, I was right!




I did not buy tickets, but that is nitpicking.
