For those curious, I am doing some slight format changes with the regular features (less regular lately) to make it a bit easier on my own schedule. The In the News and Websurdity Classifieds posts will be shorter, but hopefully more often. And with that said, here are a few articles of interest:
Psychic Has ‘Bad Feeling,’ Does Nothing
A Denver Psychic claims she had a “bad feeling” that something was going to happen to the signs outside her store. Sure enough, the signs were set on fire a little while later. So, despite her own Spidey Sense tingling, she didn’t feel it necessary to actually do anything to protect the signs. That’s gotta drive a person crazy — getting specific psychic predictions, but not being bright enough to do anything about them. I mean, seems like a terribly cruel thing to get stuck with.
Psychic Had ‘Bad Feeling’ About Signs
Another Psychic and Her Signs: Powers Fail to Predict Pissed Off Neighbors
Not sure what it is with psychics and signs (actual signs that is) this past month, but this article is about a California psychic who is having some trouble with her signs: namely, she placed a few signs on her house advertising her… urr… services *cough* ripoff *cough*. Her powers, however, apparently didn’t help her predict her neighbors’ ire. The signs violate the rules of the neighborhood association, and the other neighbors are none to happy. Personally, I’m not a big fan of neighborhood associations, but you’d think a psychic would have better foresight. Check that — anyone who can read a rule book ought to have better foresight. Being able to read a rule book and having psychic powers? Well, it would seem impossible to make this type of mistake…

Jesus: Healing the Sick, Turning Water into Wine, and Now… Providing Protection Against Potholes
Another month gone by, another stupid Jesus item. This time, Jesus is supposed to have appeared in a smeared section of sealant from someone’s driveway. So not only is Jesus concerned with our eternal salvation, but he also does a heck of a job sealing asphalt. I don’t think you can ask for much more from a Savior. The owners of the asphalt put the it on Ebay, and voila… $1800. You can see the actual picture in article below. This particular article is from an Australian site, and notes that this type of thing could happen “… in America — only in America…” Yeah. I wish I could argue that point. I really do.

The Virgin Mary On the Back of a Turtle
While Jesus is off sealing driveways from dangerous rainwater seepage, his mom is off hanging out in San Diego, on the back of a turtle. I guess she isn’t planning on leaving any time soon. The woman who discovered the image (which looks more like Cher… maybe even Slash) isn’t planning on selling it. In fact, she claims that sales at her Hawaiian clothing store has tripled since finding the image. With that kind of drawing power, I wouldn’t sell it either… it’s probably making her much more than she could get on Ebay. That and it’s the Mother of God, a miracle, a sign, and all that jazz, and nobody would callously sell such an important item. But that goes without saying.
