We're giving psychic's credibility now?

How is this different than calling in a bomb-threat?

Psychic tip leads to flight cancellation

Hell, I think I'm psychic. I'm going to call in some of these. IMO, ridiculous.

The purported psychic's call was "unusual," conceded Doug Perkins, local administrator for the federal Transportation Security Administration director.

"But in these times, we can't ignore anything. We want to take the appropriate measures," he said.

Yeah, um, my dog said that the wheel is gonna fall off of this plane here... and umm.. my hamster coroborated the story.. so.. oh, and also my fish told me that you guys owe me money. So.. take appropriate measures. You can make the check out to...

Just an itty-little bit. More like a dumbass.

Hey look! Post number 1k! Now I'm about 1/5 of the way to catching up to Buli. W00t.

If this isn't a sign that the apocolypse is nearly upon us, I don't know what is. That, or the human race is defying all of Darwin's theorys and is actually De-Evolving.....

I tend to agree with the second hypothesis, seeing as I don't believe in "the apocalypse", and to do so is as silly as believing in psychics..

Yes, we are de-evolving. Our "great" civilizations are as weak as Rome was in it's decline. Our people are pacified by our hyper-inflated entertainment industry, most concerned with how things look on the outside, while things could be rotten to the core.

I realize this every time I get behind the wheel of a car. I think driving is a perfect example of people's intelligence and demeanor. People tend to not interact with the public as a whole - except for when you're driving.

I'm really curious as to see how many people know what a "yield" sign actually means.

Or SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT.

This is LEFT, this is RIGHT. You are slower than the guy driving 10" off your back bumper. Move over dumbass!

That is completely stupid. Had that been my flight, I would have raised hell with the airline.

I'll bet the airlines never even told the passengers why the flight was cancelled. If they had, you can be assured that many, many passengers would have been irate.

But I always thought that the closer someone is to your back bumper, the slower they want you to go!!

This has got to be the height of stupidity. So anyone can just call up and get a plane searched, I mean it's not like there is a union card for that profession that can validate someone as a true psychic

Agreed, in as much as that's what I do when someone tailgates me BUT for the love of God, would people please slide right when they aren't actively overtaking another vehicle so people can pass them. Nothing like a rolling roadblock.
