Telephone telepathy -- I was just thinking about you

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

NORWICH (Reuters) - Many people have experienced the phenomenon of receiving a telephone call from someone shortly after thinking about them -- now a scientist says he has proof of what he calls telephone telepathy.

Rupert Sheldrake, whose research is funded by the respected Trinity College, Cambridge, said on Tuesday he had conducted experiments that proved that such precognition existed for telephone calls and even e-mails.

This happens to me so often. I'll think about someone and then they'll call wthin a few hours or days. Even people who I haven't heard from in ages.

The article.Idiocy. Heh. It seems like that, but just coincidental, because you always remember if it happend, and dont care if it didnt.

Peter Atkins, a chemist at the University of Oxford, said that work in telepathy was a waste of time.

"In this case there is absolutely no reason to suppose that telepathy is anything more than a fantasy," he said. "Whenever positive results have been reported in the past - and such reports are also feeble, down in the noise of chance - close scrutiny has revealed conventional explanations."

it happens to me, but with the Simpsons. I remember an episode and later that day or the next day, the episode comes on tv.

This happens all the time. Usually as I'm dialing Javier's number the phone will start ringing and it'll be him calling. This happens at least a few times a week.

Don't they say that if you want to be happy, you shouldn't surround yourself with people who are unhappy/whiny/b!tchy?

Maybe that's telepathy too.

It happens to Luz and I all the time. On a weekly basis I will have the phone in my hand dialing her number and it rings before I have a chance to finish. Same with her. I will call her and she has the phone in hand trying to call me!
