I would like to see any reference to his name in any scientific publication. This is the only way that I will accept his "I am a scientist" line. He can even be listed as a contributing author or research assistant or whatever.
He's lying. I checked for Whoompthereitis on PubMed and got nothing.

I agree that a lot of so-called psychics do this, but not in all cases. Like any profession, there are bad ones and good ones. I think fake psychics are just pretty common because it's a very small percentage of people who really have any powers.

I'm not stupid...I know that the vast majority of psychics are completely phony, and I understand the concept of cold reading. I do know that there are certain dark forces out there however, and that some people can reach out to them. Gina's one of the real ones.

How have you come about this world-changing knowledge?

Is it by any chance based on watching horror movies and mistaking them for documentaries?
 
Yeah, I'm no scientist. I do think science has a certian place in this world, but it definitely doesn't have the answers for everything.
 
Put me down for a curse too. I'd like to know what I should be looking out for though, and it would have to be something specific, like something that doesn't usually happen to people. I'm not going to be like, "oh, I stubbed my toe, I guess it was that curse!"

If Gina agrees to a curse, and it is specific with a time frame, and that curse does not happen, are you willing to say Gina has no power? I am curious if anything can convince you that Gina cannot perform a curse.

You mean like whether you will meet a talk, dark stranger?

Or if your grandparent's name begins with B.... or maybe D?

Man, you guys are so close-minded.

I once went to a psychic for a reading; this was like 3 years ago. She told me that there was a problem with my uncle, Steve. It was weird, because I do have an uncle named Steve. She said that he was having health problems.

Kind of creeped me out. She also told me that I'd meet the 'love of my life' very shortly, and that she'd be a short blonde.

The very next day I received a call from my Mom telling me that her brother Steve was in the hospital; had a heart attack. I was at the hospital within an hour, and while visiting Steve I socialized a lot with one of the nurses. She was a cute blonde, and she was about 5'1". Eventually I asked her out for coffee, and she said yes.

Three years later, me and her are still together. Steve's doing better as well, though he's had to make some dramatic changes to his lifestyle.

So in light of that, it really offends me when people make fun of psychics and say they're all frauds. Some of them are, of course, but some of them have amazing powers and do a lot to help people.

I don't know for sure that Gina can perform a curse, you're right. Maybe she can't, and will say she chooses not to as an excuse. You're correct about that. But I do know she has powers of some sort- she's demonstrated that to me with the accuracy of my past reading.

My hunch is that she'll be a little shy about the curse thing at first, and that I'll have to convince her. And again, I will report back EVERYTHING that happens. You guys can make your own minds up. If something she says or does makes me question my belief, I will admit to it.

BUT- If the curse does happen, and the terms are all specific enough, I expect you all to show the same transparency when reporting back. Fair's fair.

I have no problem with that. If something unusual enough happens I will be intrigued enough to investigate more on my own.

You are under the assumption that she has the ability to curse these people, but you don't want to put anyone on your shitlist without their consent for "moral" reasons? Good to know your morals are as weak as your logic.

Yeah, I am struggling with this. I do wanna prove my point, but I am worried that people might get hurt. Based on what I know of Gina, she won't really hurt anyone too badly. My hope is that the curse will be something specific, easily identifiable, but not something that leaves permanent damage or causes intense suffering.

Don't you hate Led Zeppelin? I'm in then.
 
Ferrio said:

No, I don't hate Led Zeppelin. I think that classic rock in general is overrated, and that there are many other bands from the same era (mostly funk bands) that are better than Zeppelin. I do think Zeppelin is pretty damn good, and I like a few of their songs. Damn sure better than 95% of the rock music out today.

But what does this have to do with the list? Not sure I should add you...

Please add a timeline to the request. Also there is no way in hell she is going to agree to it. No fucking way.

Sorry, closed-minded.

Look I understand how easy it is to make jokes, and that's fine. You guys can doubt all you want. It's funny though, even though pretty much everyone is talking a lot of shit, only a few have opted in on the curse. Guess most of you aren't that convinced that there's nothing to be afraid of, huh?

I'm in for the curse.

Also, I curse you to dream of my balls. EVERY NIGHT

a wooo wooo woooo


*mystical hand wave*

Also, I'm flying to australia in one week from today out of europe under threat from Icelandic volcano. I don't even think your porn star of a psychic can even fuck up my holiday. Tell that bitch to sort out a wind change and make me say wow.

Ha ha...Gina's amazing, but she looks nothing like a porn star. Definitely not an attractive woman.

Er, why not get voodoo blessings or something? Oh right, you think she cavorts with "dark" powers.

Question for you, sir: how much do you know about Gina? I hear you got a reading three years ago that turned out pretty well for you. Have you seen her for advice since? Ever hear of her cursing someone? Or was that one reading, three years ago, really so convincing?
 
Curse me! Make my chest explode, Alien-style. I know the tricks that psychics use, and would like nothing better than to laugh at these curses.

Science does have the answer to everything, we just don't yet. Give us another five thousand years and we'll have it all pretty much down pat (unless we have another dark ages).
 
Alright, I have to admit that there might be somethings supernatural - even if I don't believe in these fraudsters I have been through some weird shit.

When I was fourteen, my mother and father were divorced, and I went to live with my mother and a man she supposedly fell in love with several years ago. We searched for a house for all three of us to live in, and eventually found the perfect house. A few months later, after finding out that my dad had Cancer, my mom went, engaged to this man living with us, to the very hospital and stayed with my father for about a week, leaving me to tend to myself as I remained in the basement, wasting my time on the computer.

It was late, around midnight if I recall correctly, and the man living with us went off to bed, turning off every light in the house, except for the computer room in the basement. During this time we had one dog and one cat. I can't remember exactly where the dog was, but the cat was downstairs with me, doing what cats do, I guess. While typing away on the computer, it occurred to me, after several minutes had passed, my cat had been staring at the door, which was left wide open, for a long time. Her ears appeared to be pinned against the back of her head and I finally noticed her faint growling.

Thinking that it was the dog, I turned around and called for her, only then to notice something that took me completely by surprise. The door that leads up to the second floor was left wide open. In front of it, taking the size of a three or four year old, was this ominous being, made of shadow.

As chills ran down my spine and fear completely took over my body, I watched this unearthly 'thing' with what little time I had, I absorbed any features possible, noting that it had small, beady eyes that were yellow, and this 'thing' had black tendrils on top of its head, and on the sides of its body, which didn't exactly have a 'shape'.

Whatever this thing was, it reacted quickly and hid by leaping over to the stairs, making it partially visible to my view. Then, I noticed that it leaned over and peeked through the wall that hid it, quickly pulling away as it knew I was still watching.

To this very day I don't know how, but I managed to muster up enough courage and quickly ran to the computer room's door, slamming and locking it. An hour later, I ran through the whole house, turning on every light possible, except for my mom's bedroom, and I went to bed with the light on. I didn't bother looking for the dog, and I never told the man about this strange occurrence. I just went into my room and crawled into bed.

I don't know how I fell asleep. But I did. Whatever the Hell that thing was, it was watching me. I didn't think that I'd ever get over it. But I guess I calmed down after a while.

A week later, after staying the night at my brother's house, I was bored and decided to look this thing up. Oddly enough, what I saw that night matched the description of what most people call a 'Shadow Being'. That scared the living Hell out of me, and I knew, without a doubt, that it was not my imagination that created this thing.

Ever since, I hated that house. That perfect house was no longer my home. I'm honestly surprised that I still stayed in that house, unfortunately, I didn't have much of a choice. But I never saw the Shadow Being again. Never. Still, I was afraid.

Thankfully three months after, my mom and I moved back in with my dad and the man living with us eventually moved away, and our so called dream home was up for sale. Probably still is.

I still have nightmares of the Shadow Being from time to time. Sometimes, it feels like it's watching me whenever I'm alone. I was never really afraid of the dark until then. Now, I hate looking into the darkness.

The darkness could be looking back at me.
 
You spelled #1's name wrong. You could get the wrong person cursed, fool!

Put me on the list. If she wants something specific to curse, make something weird happen to my facial stubble (falling out, turning purple, etc).
 
Man, Whoompthereitis is an obvioius troll, but fuck it. If you can stick to this:
ronito said:
I fear it's too easy to say "Put your name on this list and something bad will happen to you!"

Shit son, bad stuff happens to people all the time.

Why not make it irrefutable? I mean she's got powers and all that.

Let's make some rules.

She has 3 days.
There needs to be chicken involved in some way.

Then we could know for sure.

Last thing I want to see is someone coming back and saying "I stubbed my toe it's true!!!"

Then put me on yo hit-list playa. Otherwise don't even bother.
 
Why don't you let your physic friend try cursing James Randi and win $1 million in the process?

http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/1m-challenge/challenge-application.html

All she needs to do is prove that she exhibits some sort of supernatural power under a controlled environment. Should be easy for her if she's the gal you say she is.

Chances are she

a) Knows shes a fake and is playing you for money
b) Truly is delusional (as over time people believe their own crap that others believe)

His TED talk was so awesome. The homeopathic drug overdose was especially hilarious.
 
OMG @ this thread...:lol

So put me on the curse list, but how do I know if the curse works? If something bad happens to me tomorrow? Next week? In 2010? Shit happens all the time, every day. This is the biggest bunch of horse shit...
 
alrighty, I see some hesitation on the curse front. Then let's stick to her "forte"

People know too much about me on GAF for me to ask anything.

But I think it'd be a fair challenge to ask her something she'd do for a customer.

For example a GAFer who hasn't posted about their girlfriend or wife on gaf have Almighty Gina tell us her Name and her Hair color and her profession and whether or not it's a wife or girlfriend. Three out of four would suffice.

Again it has to be someone that doesn't much internet presence.

Hell, participants should even be willing to PM their pics and first name for her to use. That should be as much data as Gina would have with customers.

That seems a completely fair challenge.

So, are we agreed? BTW, keep the curse thing if you can, it's entertaining. But if you're serious about proving us wrong then this would do it.

Any GAFers willing to step up FOR SCIENCE!
 
Yeah I'm always up for science.

What do I have to do?

I would, but with some internet detective work, I think someone could find out that information about me.

how's about this.

Could they figure out your Uncle's name? Perhaps we should ask questions no one could figure out on the internet.

Though the girlfriend/wife thing would be easiest.
 
Im not going totally say that psychics don't exist, but I don't believe that they have uber powers like people believe they do

I make sure to leave a little a trail as possible over the internet so it'll be a nice to see how well I've hidden my identity.

I'm up for anything really, girlfriend's name, dad's, mom's, uncles aunts whatever.

K, so

Halycon's: Mom's name, Dad's name, uncle's, aunt's, whatever.
Ronito: I have two 2 brothers, name either.
 
When I typed apartment I totally meant to type appointment. Just to clear that up. I do this thing all the time where I'll accidentally replace a word with a similar word or just completely miss a word in a sentence. Usually I catch it though. For future reference y'know.

Yup. People claiming they have magical gifts usually dislike having said gifts tested.

I find no coincidence there.

Omg if that's turns out to be true does that make you a psychic.
