    The onion should do a satire version of this article…

    #1) BizzBop: a can of soda

    #2) shaplopped: sitting down in your chair too hard

    #3) smooly-D: having difficulty keeping aim at the urinal.

    #4) snorkeling: to have such abundance that you are euphemistically ‘swimming’ in something.

    Last night I shaplopped, was snorkeling in bizzbop so hard that my smooly-D was straight killing it.

    What else y’all got?







  • I feel like I am talking with a bot who is programmed to annoy the scientifically literate.

    Let us all bask in the absurdity of your thought process:

    You first say ‘the CIA says that they can perform telepathy’, and then you say ‘the CIA says that they cannot perform telepathy’, then you say ‘I don’t trust what the CIA says’, and therefore: ‘the CIA can do telepathy’

    Despite this horribly flawed methodology, the concept of telepathy is widely known to be pseudoscience. The claims of telepathy do not hold up to scrutiny. Your theories are easily debunked.

    Radin’s ideas and work have been criticized by scientists and philosophers skeptical of paranormal claims. The review of Radin’s first book, The Conscious Universe, that appeared in Nature charged that Radin ignored the known hoaxes in the field, made statistical errors and ignored plausible non-paranormal explanations for parapsychological data.

    You cite a quack who has a Wikipedia article that is 75% explaining how he is not a trustworthy source.

    Lastly, if telepathy were a real actual thing that people can do, do realize how many other aspects of reality must also be of a conspiratorial nature? Its borderline paranoid schizophrenia to think something like telepathy is real and the CIA is covering it up.

    Hopefully you can raise your standard of what constitutes evidence and apply a little more skeptical thinking when you come across wild claims that demand extraordinary evidence.
