Woman claims to be able to make people urinate with power of mind

Yup, it's the latest wacky application for the million-pound prize on the James Randi Educational Forum.

Read all about it here!

This is going to be a tricky one - just reading about it will probably make many people want to, ahem, go. There is surely going to be an element of auto-suggestion which it will be very hard to eliminate. And as someone on the forum has pointed out, if you keep people hanging about in a tense situation for long enough, nature will need to take its course eventually anyway. It's a bit like saying you can make someone sweat.

One has to conclude that she is taking the piss.

On the plus side, "ROSEMARY HUNTER - Paranormal Urination" sounds like a great title for a late-night TV show.

will read it - when I've had a leak...

TellusMater · 29/08/2007 15:31

It is a gift from God apparently.

Useful...

UnquietDad · 29/08/2007 15:33

Do you think she sings "Water, water of life" while doing it?

"Ms. Hunter has also presented an affidavit from an academic, however in this demonstration, she made the individual cry uncontrollably with the power of her mind."

Again, hard to see God's plan with this one...

WanderingTrolley · 29/08/2007 15:36

HA.

Bet all her experiments so far have included 40 heavily pregnant women and a tickling stick.

Is she sponsored by TenaLady?

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 29/08/2007 15:38

PMSL!.......

WanderingTrolley · 29/08/2007 15:39

Ooooh look!

I made saggarmakersbottomknocker do it!

What do I win?

harrisey · 29/08/2007 21:17

Why post this in Philosophy/Religion/Spirituality when it should clearly be in the forum marked
Complete And Utter Bolloks!

Beauregard · 29/08/2007 21:19

ffs sake what's next Paranormal defacation?

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 29/08/2007 21:23

WT - after 3 largish babies it's not so difficult, believe me

UnquietDad · 29/08/2007 21:25

To answer harrisey's question - well, I find it hard to tell the difference sometimes!

OP posts:

UnquietDad · 29/08/2007 21:26

Also to add - it makes a serious point because it's about the JREF and the serious challenge of top sceptic James Randi's million-dollar offer. I thougbt maybe it might, after our initial sniggers, lead to some serious discussion...

whomovedmychocolate · 29/08/2007 21:29

Surely if it's a gift from god she can turn their water into wine. Now that would be a good party trick!

Not sure I'd drink it though

UnquietDad · 29/08/2007 21:34

And lo, it DID come to pass.

OP posts:

AuntieEm · 29/08/2007 21:45

surely Unquietdad that should read it did come to piss

UnquietDad · 29/08/2007 21:58

I was trying to do a more subtle pun on the word pass, as in pass water... oh well.
