**glee** , I read through a disconcertingly large part of the link you posted and I’m sad that I didn’t find out what your twelve objects are. I am not able to astrally project myself, nor am I able to time travel. Care to let the cat out of the bag so untalented folks like me can have their curiosity satiated? Thanks!

> Ah, okay. This is basically a cold read. In fact, it’s too weak to even be called that. You described the image in your head, which says nothing about mistrust, financial deals, and internal alarms going off. Just a bolted, chained lock. _She_ is the one who made the connection with that person in her life, not you. Like I said, it’s not even a cold read, it’s just a random free association. That’s not even remotely psychic.

She was supposed to have the person in mind before I started reading her.

Although I have been a _Hitch-Hiker_ fan since, well, the original broadcast on Radio Four, I can’t guarantee that my percentile dice have such good taste.

Steve’s number is obviously 69, dude.

Really.

Anyone who reads that much deserves a reward! 🆒

For the first time ever on the SDMB :eek: , an extract from an e-mail I sent to two Moderators:

Here are the twelve items on my desk:

1. Box of tissues (Kleenex brand)
2. Toy rabbit (Purple + white)
3. Wizard statue (possibly Gandalf)
4. Key (small, metal)
5. Music CD (James Taylor; Classic Songs)
6. Viking statue (Hairy, bearded, holding Axe)
7. Clock (Small, Eurochron make)
8. Keyring (Attached to Pokemon character)
9. Chess piece (Knight, hand-carved)
10. Dragon figurine (Tiny, pewter)
11. Box of screwdrivers (in plastic case)
12. Toothpicks (in plastic box)

I rolled a 2 on the 12-sided dice, so the post-it note is on the rabbit.

From that revelation, I predict \*\*glee[/b is a huge geek.

Indeed I am.  
But I also ran a psychic test successfully on the Internet. 🆒

This thread has been rather disappointing in that we have had little evidence of why they believe psychic powers exist (and almost no discussion of previous tests).
