on the other hand, when we got to space and figured out that pens don't work, we invented a pen that would.

the russians just broke out the pencils...

No one has ever proved that the mysterious 'American food' exists though.

Source on psi abilities, please (I do know some things about the research, but I'm curious about whether it's public info nowadays).

Sure it exists. Just take any food they eat in some other country, then add fifteen pounds of corn syrup, that way all you taste is corn syrup and not the actual food.

(If I was emperor of the world, I'd make it illegal to use corn syrup in food, it's a vile substance.)

I dunno. According to Buzz Aldrin, one of the switches on their lander snapped off while he and Armstrong were on the moon, and without the switch, they would have been stuck there. Luckily, they had pens, and used one of the pens to operate the switch.

Haven't you ever heard the saying "The only good things to ever come out of America are vegetables."?

I've gotten to the point where I more or less refuse to eat anything that has "high fructose corn syrup" on the ingredient list.

I'd also like a link to that Russian psi research if you would be so kind.

Eww, vegetables suck though.

As an American, I'm torn between an attitude of "hey, but this isn't such a bad place to live" and "wow we really do suck compared to Russia."

They have proved psi exists and the rest of the world still goes about nosepicking and wondering if telepathy is a farce????

This is, um, a lie. Or at least wrong. Telepathy/psi/whatever does not exist, and has been been shown to exist in any appropriately conducted experiment (eg one that actually blinds the study and doesn't massage the results afterwards).

PEAR has been going on for... 28 years (it just recently closed), trying to find anyone, anything that could influence a random number generator. These people were serious about this shit, and yet they didn't discover a single statistically significant thing in nearly 30 years.

And that P in PEAR? Stands for Princeton.

Note there are a whole lot of holes in the general laws of information theory, especially on the quantum level. The only problem is that it's almost impossible for them to illegally transmit any useful information.

I ruther thought he was joking.

Anywho, yah, the P stands for Princeton, but the EAR stands for Evil Atheist Radicals. Like we'd trust them.

Fvcking atheists.
