    Except that doesn't happen. A person might get lucky a few times, but repeat the experiment often enough, you'll see that figure tend towards 50%.

    i have been looking for examples of this but so far i haven't been able to find any. no, it isn't BS but it also isn't reproducible in a controlled environment.

    LOL, sorry but not being reproducible means it is BS.

    careful about what you call BS, there are things that have never been reproduced in controlled environments but yet you believe them.

    Then it's BS. If these 'mystics' can't reliably produce the same results, they are merely using selective memory, and remembering the success, and forgetting the failures.

    LOL. Do you have any idea how silly that is. So you believe ESP is shy!:shrug:

    It's usually implied that various ESP results that people usually imply exist are just reactions caused by Synesthesia, a condition that those people happen to have.

    Is this supposed to be an answer?

    Or just your standard line of bullshit?

    Jeez what a load of crap. The original research was clearly about the ability of dogs to understand the state of people by there physical cues. The telepathy aspect is certainly an addition from the idiot reporter.

    And yet not a single result like this can ever be reproduced in the presence of a skeptic, and the psychic's powers seem to further decline in the presence of stage magicians and scientists. This evidence leads me to believe that claims of this sort have about as much worth as a sneeze in a spacesuit and are about as useful when it comes to determining the veracity of "paranormal" abilities.

    Oh, and the dog mind reading thing was funny. The better explanation is that we have shaped their evolution for some twenty thousand years and that has given them, through artificial selection, a very good understanding(even if it's "only" instinctual) of human behavior. Those who were good at reading the mood and basic well being of their masters bred more and thus the genes for doing so spread. In fact it's even been shown that dogs tend to use humans to manipulate their environment, and such a detailed understanding of human behavior would obviously be advantageous in that respect.

    As always, science produces the best results by following Ockham's Razor and not making unnecessary assumptions, such as the existence of psychic powers.

    Thinking about it, James Randi should be apologising to that Russian girl who could 'invisibly see' a patients blowflow.
