[ExI] A paranormal prediction for the next year

[William Flynn Wallace]

I love lists.  Now I am thinking of a list that would include all the
phenomena and beings that humans have said exist for which there have never
been any confirmed evidence at all.  If it exists I think that maybe my
printer would run out of ink, much less paper, before printing such a list.

Unnatural explanations outnumber natural ones by many orders of magnitude.
And we claim to be the thinking species?  The rational one?

Jimmy Carter (according to my dentist this morning) caused the high gas
prices of the 70s.  Accordingly, Obama must be responsible for the lowered
prices.  QED.
