But if you have two hours or more every day to practice, then you're not performing enough.

What about performing?

Which is doubly impressive because you didn't have one. You're missing the damn point. The system was created to help people improve. If you want to "have fun," there is a media section for that. Or you could go to other forums that have a digital playground for you (although I can see...

That was the popular theory. But the truth is that the actual disappearances that have occurred within the most commonly agreed upon boundaries of the triangle (it's a little mutable) were mostly because that area tends to get hit pretty hard when tropical storms and hurricanes roll in. It's...

Jokes have these things called punchlines. It is the balance of set up and punchline that makes a joke, you know, funny. And if you have to use that cliched, "You take this too seriously," argument, that only means that you haven't spent a nanosecond of thought on any of this. The issue is...

So it would seem.

He asked a legit question. Out of curiosity, why does everyone recommend only one-word names?

(insert useless monosyllabic gesture)

I'll put my support behind this. Best damn idea I've heard in a long time.

I think most people are going by a fairly generic definition. Yeah, there is a street magic "Dummies" book. Just as there was a regular "Magic for Dummies." I flipped through them both at Barnes & Noble and for the most part there's not much difference. Though I kind of like the latter...

I've always been a skeptic of haunted houses. Mostly because there's so damn many of them. Still, I'll look into this more later.

Lamenting a situation while providing no solution is complaining. And if beef didn't exist, the hamburger would have never come into being, thus I would never have made the mistake of eating at Burger King and getting food poisoning. Your point? Yes, you are missing something. The...

Here's your cookie. Go eat it while I pretend to care. Why don't magicians ever speak for themselves anymore?

Way ahead of you. I've been legally embalmed since 10 AM.

For one thing, it was Russia. If Stalin wanted to test weapons on people, he would have found some political prisoners and an underground lab. Second, mutual assured destruction tends to put a damper on using nuclear weapons close to civilized areas. Third, have you actually seen the stock...

Let me answer that question with this one: Why the hell would any government interested in remaining un-deposed test nuclear weapons in a region known to be trafficked by civilians? And radiation of the kind generated by an A-bomb's fallout does not make you warm. It makes you dead. The...

Since we're on the topic of stones, How about the Ringing Rocks of Pennsylvania for a spot of weirdness? No kidding, it's a ribbon of stones in the middle of the woods like a river made of boulders. And they actually do ring when struck. They produce an actual note like a bell. It's quite a...

That mural and statue are probably what goes on in Stephen King's head. Anyway, here's a blog post about a skeptic's analysis of the Dyatlov Pass Incident and a possible solution of what happened to the 9 hikers without involving UFOs in the whole damn thing.

Not all avalanches bury people. A lot of them are actually reasonably shallow and easy to dig your way out of. The thing that makes them dangerous is the speed at which they hit you can easily cause blunt force trauma. It's the same way a tsunami is dangerous even though it's reasonably short...

Unfortunately, there turned out to be an explanation for that one. Croatan Island was populated by a friendly American Indian tribe but the colonists generally left them alone. About ten years later, they encountered Indian children with fairer skin than normal and blue eyes. Do the math...
