Hey!  Why do we get SIX asterisks when we type #####?

Testing, testing:

##### = trousers
***** = automaton

That reminds of a time years ago when I was shopping with my g/r, now my wife and bought 3 items

1 pair of trousers
1 pair of slacks
1 pair of #####es

They each had a different term on the label for what they were.

Does anyone have an idea what is the difference between slacks, #####es, and trousers?

Uh, I have a question.  I'm going to get my tarot cards/fortune read on Monday.  I normally don't go in for the whole fortune telling/astrology/clairvoyance stuff but I'm interested in the process and my girlfriend strongly recommends this particular psychic.  Inexplicably, though, I'm kind of nervous about the whole deal.  So, uh, does anyone else have any experience with the whole psychic thing?  Care to relate your experience, what you brought to it, what you took away?

I ask because I'm curious, and I'm hoping that hearing other people talk about it will help me feel more relaxed.

Never been to one personally, but I've read a bit about how they work.  If the psychic tells you something that makes you go "How'd s/he know that?", ask yourself:  

Was that in fact something really general for which I actually provided the details?  e.g., the psychic may say "I see something involving you and a car yesterday," which could mean you got hit by a car, you got a ticket, you bought a new car, any number of things.  If you blurt out "my dog just got hit by a car," that's not any kind of supernatural gift at work, you just got led.

How many times did the psychich miss before s/he hit?  People who swear by psychics tend to forget the "visions" that didn't work, and only remember the remarkable insights.

And finally, is that something unique to me, or just human nature?  "You often enjoy the company of others, but sometimes you prefer to be alone."  How many billions of people is that true for?

My psych 101 professor used to give out personality tets on the first day of class. A week later everybody would get an envelope with a description of their personality and would have to rate it's accuracy from 1 to 5. Something like 92% said 4 or 5. He'd then reveal that everybody got the description for Virgo out of some astrology book from 1982.

This made me chortle in my cube. People think I'm not working now.

This could make an extremely funny flash movie.

I was going to make a joke about Gollum/Smeagol and discount jewlery including rings... but's I'm too tired so make us your own funny.

When it comes the the psychic thing, try not to say all that much if you have to wait in a lobby area, as I saw a documentary on psychics where a "real" psychic debunked several fakes by showing how they set up an audio feed from the waiting area to a back rom somewhere so that they can learn about tidbits of your life and impliment them.

When it comes to having your tarot cards read, just remember that you don't need to be psychic to read tarot cards - the two aren't inter-related even though tarot cards are oft read by psychics.  When it comes to tarot cards, I used to read them, and also had a friend read my tarot once too.  I tend to be of the mind that tarot cards will trigger you to bring forth things that you are aware of unconciously - just causing things that are in the back of your mind to come forward.  

Also, AD - I always thought that I was the only slacker who sneaks on the this board at work.  Huh.

The only person to slack off and read the board at work?  HA!

Sorry, what I meant to say is, I'm supportive of you in your work-slacking, since I do the same thing, pretty much constantly.

Also, AD - I've definitely been looked at very strangely for breaking out laughing in my cube - and the infuriating thing about this job is that I can't just forward them the link and have people appreciate it.  Soon, I tell you, soon!

I think this is the first time I've used 2 non-consecutive exclamation points while writing, ever.
