This is a natural, normal thing, and the thought is invariably forgotten a few minutes later. Seconds later, if the travel is frequent.<BR/><BR/>Unless something happens...<BR/><BR/>For every plane crash, I will bet you even money that every family member of those who died had "a feeling" something would happen, sometime in the days before departure. Welcome to the wonderful world of confirmation bias, and a greaat big target for cold readers.Thursdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13716639373048900646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13030925.post-1136298634535575152006-01-03T08:30:00.000-06:002006-01-03T08:30:00.000-06:00Yeah, well it's up to you to prove he's not an 8 y...Yeah, well it's up to you to <B>prove he's not</B> an 8 year old...Ryan Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14750814560493466382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13030925.post-1136006017669055372005-12-30T23:13:00.000-06:002005-12-30T23:13:00.000-06:00I think Van Praagh now officially takes over from ...I think Van Praagh now officially takes over from John Edward as the biggest douche in the universe.

They're treated the same way we, in the real world, treat technology.
