Wednesday (Dec. 4) I was driving home and caught the infamous Art Bell show. The guest was Jeffery Mishlove a "Doctor of Parapsychology" (Berkley of course). He was being interveiwed about a dead psychic, Ted Owens.

It seems Owens claimed credit for ending a California drought among other completely over the top crap.

What I found strange was this Owens was considered to be quite an S.O.B. He would use his "powers" to hurt people he didn't like and even took credit for the Challenger Disaster, not predicting it but actually causing it! I can't recall why he did it but after all he was a world class a'hole, according to Mishlove.

The kicker is that this "worlds greatest psychic" who obviously had no morals or ethics, had cash problems all his life and died penniless.

It's ashame he didn't go for Randi's million dollar prize. If he did all those things, he should've had no problem with the test and his money problems would've been over.
