<Bend, damn you!>

A small note about secondhand stories; Randi was told of a miraculous bending
during Uri's SRI tests.  Apparently a metal band stood on end, split down
the middle, and the two pieces formed the letter 'S'.  This is the story.
It couldn't be nailed down to specific witnesses, times, etc.  (and this
is a laboratory!?)  As to fork bending, strange how it NEVER (and I mean
*NEVER*) happens on camera!

And now, an ESP test!
(Please have an OPEN MIND, and don't try to give funny/obscure answers.
Just the first thing that pops into your head)

1) pick a number from 1 to 10

2) select one of these X's:            X  X  X  X  X

3) Think of a playing card.

4) Think of a foreign capital city

5) Draw two different geometrical shapes, one inside the other (Note:
   don't use a square, too easy!)

Pardon annoying linefeeds---





















Answers:

1) "five" (crossed out) then "seven" (if you picked five, a "near miss")

2) the second X from the left

3) Ace of Hearts (any other ace is a near miss)

4) Paris (crossed out), with London written under it
If you thought of Paris, I'll say, "Gee, I got it, but then someone thought
of London", If you thought of London, I got it!  Paris is a "near miss"

5) A circle inside a triangle.  If you had a triangle in a circle, a near miss!

Uri Geller has ACTUALLY USED the last two!!!  Please send me mail, telling me
which ones I got right!  I not only read your mind, I did it PRECOGNITIVELY!
