Well, it has finally happened to me. Something paranormal, actually two things. 1) My fave movie as a kid was Rodan, The Flying Monster (for obvious reasons). Well, I thought that I would get a copy for my son this Christmas. Fine and good. Bought it thru Amazon and it came yesterday...

From The telepathy debate of last month thread, Ian says: To explain this in an analogy, when hit my hand with something heavy, I immediately feel pain afterwards. Perhaps its just coincidence that I hit my hand with a ball peen hammer, and the sensation of pain which occurs afterward are not...
