WTF! This was an hysterical, yet aggravating thread.

1. Oh, I LMAO at that thread...

I have videotapes of Benny Hinn and other hucksters performing faith healing.

They must be real, too.

2. Life in woo-woo land.

Good grief. "There are videotapes! It's true!"

3. That thread reminded me of the time i was watching a David Blaine

special with the daughter of my (now) ex-girlfriend. Blaine does this trick where he appears to levitate a few inches off the ground and of course, the observers are amazed at his apparent defiance of gravity. Of course, he has them stand in a particular way and turns himself in a SPECIFIC orientation to his audience EACH AND EVERY TIME he does it. The young lady i was watching it with was duly impressed and expressed her amazement by asking me if he was really doing that..."How can he levitate?" she asked. I pointed out the trick (anyone can do it, it is just lifting your body up with the ball of your left foot, keeping the heels together, but only so much that the foot doing the lifting is not revealed to the observer. Position yourself in front of and slightly facing to the right of your observer so that your right foot is mostly what he can see) She didn't seem to be to impressed with this explanation so i posed to her this question;
"Which is more likely? that this human being can actually levitate himself off the ground, defying in a supernatural way all the laws of gravity and physics?

Or is he performing a trick? A clever but simple trick?"

She thought about that for about 2 seconds and a wave of rationalism came over her like a Tsunami!

That person defending milk drinking statues would be in the camp that would INSIST Mr. Blaine could actually levitate.
