    You're such a romantic.

      But the whole "we only use 10% of our brains" thing has been debunked.

      The Cyclops having only one eye, needed to seek shelter from the harsh sun. The shadow cast by the spheres gave him temporary respite.

        There's a theory that deja vu is your mind hiccuping and so you experience the same moment a split-second after you normally do, resulting in the feeling of familiarity.

          Yeah we use our entire brain, otherwise we'd be call retarded, or mentally handicapped if you wanna be politically correct. Maybe handicapable if that's your dish.

          It's kinda what I think Mora was saying with that first comment, you think/see all kinds of random **** every hour of every day. It's only when something comes along to bring up some random **** you'd just been exposed to that it makes any kind of impact on you.

          I'd think if I was seeing a few steps into the future things like "Your girlfriend's going to leave you and you'll be an emotional wreck for the next few months", or "You're gunna get hit by a car and be in the hospital for awhile." would be more important than letting me know that a good episode of Seinfeld is gunna be on in syndication.

            The weirdest one that happened to me was, I was playing PSO on the DC, and was chatting with this guy. Turns out he worked at Best Buy in Little Rock, Arkansas. I worked at Best Buy. He was having inventory the next day. Our store was having inventory the next day. He worked in the media department. I worked in the media department. He was the senior (like the third in charge) of the department, and his name was Eric. The senior of my media department was also named Eric. It really freaked me out when it happened. I was literally shaking for about half an hour, it freaked me out so bad. Anyway, that's my story. I have other coincidence stories, but that one is the best.

            Well, one more. I was living at a recovery house, and was in the living room reading The Stand by Stephen King. Someone else in the house was watching Friends on TV. In that show, they referenced someone named Dr. Phalanges a number of times. I really did not pay attention, and kept reading. But for some reason, after a while, I kept reading the same paragraph over and over again, and could not concentrate on what I was reading. So I decided to go outside to smoke a cigarette, and literally 10 seconds after I walked out the door, one of my housemates said to another housemate of mine, "Get your phalanges off of me." That freaked me out a bit too, as the word phalanges is almost never heard in a month of time, maybe even a year, and here I heard it being used in two different contexts within three minutes of each other. The thing that freaked me out is that if I had continued trying to read for a half a minute longer, this coincidence would not have occured.

            I personally think this phenomenon has something to do with alternate realities, and for those coincidences, subconsciously we are looking into another future, and coming back with some hidden information into this reality that does not present itself until the coincidence makes itself apparent. But maybe I'm just crazy.

            And the word for this phenomenon is COINCIDENCES, not Parallellisms.

              My first experience with deja vu was watching the premiere of a new Simpsons episode, and I swore I had seen it before. I was so frustrated and confused.

              Please, just let me have my psychic powerz theory?

                I once joined a game on the east coast server of Diablo II and chatted with a guy that was playing at an internet cafe 15 minutes from my house. In Las Vegas. On the West Coast. Did my super brain tell me to go to that room? No. Bizzare occurance.

                This country is a super power. It pains me to see so many ridiculous theories thrown around whenever a topic that is slightly hard to explain comes up.

                P.S. the name for this phenomenon Crazy Bull****.

                    I was more responding to all the future telling stuff.

                    The whole hearing phalanges twice meaning you're BREAKING REALITY AND SEEING THROUGH SPACE AND TIME INTO THE FUTURE.





                    Occam's Razor feels quite dull at the moment.

                      Hmmm well I guess it's just a matter of interpretation. That's all life is anyways, so if you want to think it's some divine reason why it happens, go for it. I've given up on religion with people. Believe what ya want. I like the logical solutions. No ghosts and all that crap just straight up science and math. Really you can only believe in one of two things.

                      Either the mental world or physical world and then the other is subsequent of the other. Either the mind is created by complex physics or the physical world is a product of the mind. I personally choose the physical world is the real one.

                            No you see, it's really not. People say well "everythings what you interpret it to be" when there's people out there working day and night to explain to the world exactly how it is. We're supposed to be this amazing society yet we have people that would rather believe in spirits and comic book plots than proven science, hell even theoretical science carries more weight than that kind of hodge podge

                              See I agree with you, however it would never fly. There's too many people that either have religion or lack of intellect to understand science(or sadly both). That's why people that understand this have too use what they know to get in power and minupulate the system slowly to get across our agenda...*starts recording of evil laugh*Mwhahahahaaahaaa
