One thing that has made a big comeback just recently is this business of speaking with the dead. To my innocent mind, 'dead' implies incapable of communicating.

The conjuror or con man is a very good provider of information. He supplies lots of data, by inference or direct statement, but it's false data. Scientists aren't used to that scenario. An electron or a galaxy is not capricious, nor deceptive; but a human can be either or both.

The problem with experiments has always been that human beings make the decisions on whether or not the animals have benefitted from the treatment.

There's something about the Houdini act that is not always made clear - about the escape act in general.

Heroin also makes people feel better, but I wouldn't recommend using heroin.

Death is the ultimate disappointment

gods are children's blankets that get carried over into adulthood.
