 Train of Thought - Telekinesis in Action!

From the Darwin Awards archive:
(September 1989, USSR) The Soviet Union is home to a growing number of psychics and mentalists. One of them, E. Frenkel, became convinced that he could use his powers to stop vehicles in their tracks. He believed that "in extraordinary conditions of a direct threat to my organism, all my reserves will be called into action."
Frenkel started small -- a bicycle here, an automobile there -- before graduating to streetcars. Finally, he devised an ultimate test of his psychic power: he would halt a freight train in its tracks.
The engineer of the train that ran Frenkel over saw him toss his briefcase aside, and step onto the tracks with arms raised, head lowered, and body tensed. The engineer applied the emergency brakes, but it was too late.
The mentalist psyched himself out.
Obviously he did not believe strongly enough.

You are so psilly. 
Back in 1891 a North Carolina train wreck killed about two dozen people. The wreck became the center of a legend that a ghostly train returns to the site on the annual anniversary. Nearly one hundred years later, a sizeable group of excited ghost hunters were standing on a train trestle, waiting for the legendary ghost train with their cameras raised, when a real train came through on schedule. Eleven of the ghost hunters were able to dodge the bullet, but 29-year-old Christopher was thrown from the trestle, and died. Darwin Award!
Now, I guess more ghost hunters will have to visit Christopher in a hundred years and repeat the cycle.

Haven't you ever heard of S-rays? The only reason the guy got killed is because the train engineer was a non-believer.

Wanna hear something depressing? One out of four Shroomerites wants to lock me in a government cage for using a substance they don't like.
Hard to believe, right? Read it for yourself:

“What is the ideal for mental health, then? A lived, compelling illusion that does not lie about life, death, and reality; one honest enough to follow its own commandments: I mean, not to kill, not to take the lives of others to justify itself.”
― Ernest Becker
"Beneath the civilized veneer, man remains the supreme predator. Cursed with what he believes is understanding, his true soul blossoms godlike in the heart of the nuclear inferno."

Conclusion: It's easier to stop a mind with a train, than it is the other way round.

lol this thread. I thought it was only puns about monorails that made for decent one-liners.
