Hi Joe,

... or maybe the measurements will come from the other side of the fence.

I guess you have to be old to remember Edgar Cayce.  ;-)

The Edgar Cayce institute is tucked away over around Virginia Beach.

(I may not have the details exactly right, because it's been quite a
while - but I seem to remember a old black and white film where they
dropped Edgar off in some small town, blindfolded, with some car keys.
He walked around the town, straight over to a parked convertible that
the keys started ... and drove off in it - still blindfolded.  It was
one of the best 'so how the heck did he do that's I've seen.)

it is *possible* that at some point we're going to be able to measure
psychic phenomena at some level. but where we sit in 2003 is that there is
no such thing as psychic phenomena that is reproducable. If we find it, I
would guess the James Randi foundation would be there first:
