Tester: Can you see my aura right now?
Psychic: Sure.
Tester: (Hides behind magazine or newspaper) Can you see my aura, even though my face is covered?
Psychic: Yes, it's right there. (getting confident...)
Tester: Okay. This brick wall is about 1/2 inch taller thanI am, If I walk behind it, can you tell where I am?
Psychic: (Sudden shock of fear) I have to go now!
If they were real, that would be cool, but no one has yet to prove these phenomena real.
of course i realize this is completely off the topic, but i was wondering what other people think

And would they take away the million if I suddenly started getting chicks?

Try it for yourself, see if it works. Pick a number and scroll down.
It makes for a killer pick-up line if you get it right. Anyhow...
The vast majority of people pick thirtyseven. I'm not sure why, but it just seems to happen that way. While it's certainly no preclusion, most of the people on whom I've guessed correctly were below-average intelligence girls I met in clubs. But, man...they're on you after that. Heh heh.

What's a shower? Is that the thing where the water comes out?
Dennis: I'm thirty-seven.
Arthur: What?
Dennis: I'm thirty-seven, I'm not OLD.
Arthur: Well I can't just call you MAN.
Dennis: You could call me Dennis.
Arthur: I didn't know you were CALLED Dennis!
Dennis: Well you didn't bother to find out, did you?

Since there are only 20 possible such combinations, and many people go for the middle ones instead of the ones on the extreme, I wouldn't be too surprised if about 30-40\% of those asked responded 37. Judging from what I've read and my own observations, I would guess that in order of most common to least common, it would be 37, 53, 73, 57, 35, 75, 15, 13, 17, 31, 51, 71, 91, 19, 97, 95, 93, 39, 59, 79, the last 16 may be a little out of order.
I personally when I read the post picked 71, but when I asked my brother he picked 53, and my boss picked 37. So far, those are the only three that I've asked.
John Edwards is pretty fun to watch, I'm sure it's not staged, but I don't think he is channeling anything, but rather that he has a good knowledge of people's reactions, and bases his guesses on the way they react. The fact that the audience members desperately want to believe that their dead relatives can talk to them helps maintain the illusion.
Of course there is also the limited possibility that there is an afterlife and there is communication between it and us, but such things are virtually impossible to prove or disprove by observation.
Certainly some people do seem to have an almost psychic ability, but it could be nothing more than a finely tuned sense of what is going on around you. Usually a "psychic" will ask you a few questions before doing the reading, the purpose of those questions is to help the psychic to determine what you want to hear, and they'll tell you what you want to hear. The fact that many are willing to believe it helps, most people won't call a psychic unless they really believe the psychic can give them the answers they are looking for.
