from what I gather it's supposedly too late for any more submissions...but seeing as there haven't been any answers given yet I'm gonna take a wing at it anyway ---> the very first initial impression I got from viewing the first post in this thread (before I read any of the 'wrong' answers) was some sort of a small statuette...something dark in color (a real dark brown, or painted black perhaps) and most likely made out of wood...I can't be *too* sure what exactly it's supposed to be, but it seems almost african, or quite possibly Hawiian or some shit (it looks kinda like a little figurine or something which I'm assuming is supposed to represent some sort of diety)
I'm pretty sure this isn't right either (especially considering I didn't take the time to try and find out what it actually is you're referring too) this is just the image I got when I first started reading this thread...I guess I'm just kinda hoping my instinct alone will get me somewhere in the general vacinity of whatever it is that you're actually talking about

P.S.
if anyone wants to try this same sort of experiment again without having to worry about the possibility of someone switching items on you - I'd be willing to send a pic of something to both Shroomism and Swami and then letting everyone else here try and guess what the pic is of
just a thought

To call humans 'rational beings' does injustice to the term, 'rational.' Humans are capable of rational thought, but it is not their essence. Humans are animals, beasts with complex brains. Humans, more often than not, utilize their cerebrum to rationalize what their primal instincts, their preconceived notions, and their emotional desires have presented as goals - humans are rationalizing beings.

I have this theory that goes something like this:
- a skeptic decides to hold a contest to prove to people that psychic abilities are bullocks
- someone guesses properly, thereby proving aforementioned skeptic wrong
- skeptic then tries to avoid answering in hopes that people will forget all about it (thereby procluding himself from ever having to admit to being wrong)
- and when that doesn't work: said skeptic replaces original object (which, by the way, no one had any previous knowledge of) thus making him appear correct to his peers...and no one can say anything about it simply because no one knew what the object was ahead of time (thereby making it impossible to know for a fact one way or another whether or not this 'contest' was ever really legit in the first place)
but then again - I *may* just be experiencing sour grapes

Actual scenario goes like this:
Member accurately guesses object. Swami quickly signs joint venture agreement with psychic member and they both proceed to the the TV talk show ciruit thereby making a mint.
BTW, what is stopping the skeptics (of Swami's credibility) from doing their own tests?

so looks like you disprooved removte veiwing just cause no one in this forum could do your test over the internet. This does not disprove it by my book though, because a VERY small fraction of the worlds population resides here, and unless you made the test global your results cannot be right... I would like to see a picture

Correction: They failed to prove they are clairvoyant.
It has not been proven that they aren't (and can't be, I think)
