Well, that is a complete surprise.




More character assassination coming from you?  Shocker.

Dude, let it go.

Thanks for the honest reply.  I wonder how many people practice superstitions but don't believe in them?

As far as manipulating things with my mind goes, I have been attempting it, with some success, since I was five.  I think there must be some scientific explanation for it.



Could you elaborate on this? Maybe give some examples?
Obviously it's a claim worthy of some significant skepticism, but at the same time, we've all seen little instances where it's hard to write off completely.
I can't say I've personally ever really succeeded in manipulating things mentally, but I feel like I've seen it done. Specifically, I've seen it done every goddamn time that I play Yahtzee with my mother. She consistently wins by nearly a hundred points every time we play, and I'm at a complete loss to explain it. We've played hundreds of games, and I think I could count the times she's lost on two hands.

That's a good example.  Here's one I actually found justification for.  I used to play a card game called Crazy 8's.  [seeing if the Swamster will take the bait]  And I was phenomenal at it.  I was the reigning champion and very hard to beat.  When I was 14, with my Mom, Dad, Aunt and Uncle, I played for several hours.  I had lost a few hands and then I proclaimed, "I'm not going to lose another hand."  We played 14 games after that and I won ever one of them.  After the 14th game, my Aunt, who was a sore loser, said, "All right, that's enough.  Time for bed."

It wasn't until I was in my 30's that I realized I was counting cards subconsciously.
