Disinfranchise

Like many people, I always thought that psychics held sway over the very forces of nature, controlling the very essence of Gaia, with their dimension-hopping brains. It came as some kind of shock, then, to find out that there are certain things even the best psychics can't quite achieve.

Now, I'm not getting this from one of your wackos, this is from the Psychic Weblog - literally a weblog about psychics.

Most people have unrealistic expectations when it comes to psychic reading and this is probably because they’re desperate for answers in a difficult situation. However, it’s good to remember that psychics are also human and make mistakes just like the rest of us. So try not to ask to much of the person doing the reading for you.

So there you have it. Psychics are mere mortal humans just like you, me and Ben Stiller. They're very much fallable, and you should remember that the next time your having the lines on your hand translated into English. But don't think it's all a waste.

[T]here is no doubt that some times we could all benefit from seeing a good psychic. Especially when we are fearful, confused and lost.

There's no argument there. If you're fearful and confused then a psychic's obviously your best bet. But lets take a closer look at what a psychic can't do.

...pick your winning lottery numbers...

There's no explanation given here. I'm guessing it's because Camelot have put a psychic shield up around the lottery machines so that it's fair for everyone.

...cast a spell to bring back your loved one...

And why is this? Is it because, as some people suggest, "spells" and "magic" are "a load of old bollocks"? No, of course not. The answer is much more obvious:

...All souls on this planet have free will, so no amount of spells will make them come back to you if they don’t want to....

That's right. They'd rather be dead than be with you. They could come back, they just don't want to. And who could blame them?

...not tell you stupid things like what did you have for lunch two days ago, or what did you have for breakfast today...

That would be boring. Admittedly it would also be evidence but who wants to spend time talking about what you had for dinner when you could be chatting to a ghost?

...It is unrealistic for it to expect a psychic to always have the right answers...

What do you think they are? Psychic?

I'd recommend everyone go and visit this wonderous mass of information. It's a beautiful blog, and it's just a shame that it only has one entry.

Still, it's number 1 on Google for "psychic weblog". Kudos.
