Just for the record, for anyone who doesn't want to be bothered by telemarketers - there have been new laws passed to implement the national 'Do Not Call' register. Just have your number put on it, and legally, they can't call you any more. It doesn't apply to market research companies, though.
Okay, my *wtf* moment: a week or so ago i was mucking around with this online ouija board (yes i was EXTREMELY bored). I don't actually believe in the spirit world but it was killing time and kept me amused. Now, for this particular board the planchette is controlled by the user's mouse/touchpad. Anyway, after awhile the planchette (pointer) slowed down and kept jamming. I realised that my fingers were pretty grotty from smoking and cleaning before so i got up and washed my hands thoroughly. Got back to the computer, placed my right hand on the touchpad and asked "is anyone there?" the planchette immediately pointed to 'yes'. I asked "what is your name?" and guess what? The planchette moved to 'No' and then slowly spelled out the word 'SOAP'. wtf?!? I sniffed my fingers and yes, they reeked of soap. Okay, now that was CREEPY!!!!!!!
Since that day, the stupid board hasn't worked properly for me. I guess the spirit world doesn't appreciate my impeccable personal hygene...
