It's on tonight on Sci Fi.... first case: Rods

Oh my god... a cave in South America with tons of insects flying around and right there are Rods!

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:



First fudge of the truth? Jack Kasher, a University of Nebraska, Omaha, physicist?

Yeah, he's retired. And he spends a lot of time believing anything quacks will show him.
 
Hey wow... they're really reaching to get answers...

Conclusion:

Rods are insects (yeah!)

Lighthouse light is just reflections (but producer has spooky run in with a shadow.... :rolleyes: )

Book author says he was a painter in a past life and takes a lie detector test (twice)... so there you go he really did live a past life even though we have to take his word ENTIRELY for all the evidence.

Don't forget to order his book

Well, I'm convinced.

Take his word for it? Didn't you listen to the pretty host? The polygraph proved it scientifically!

What I saw of the rods segment was so stupid I began to wonder if the show was parody. I only saw a few glimpses while avoiding commercials on other stations.
 
This show was good for a laugh, but I can't help but wonder about people that watch it and believe this stuff. The low point of the show for me was the lighthouse. They went right after the physics professor explained how the light was a reflection of harbor lights, the female host states "While the light MAY have been a reflection"... MAY have been??

Sheesh!

Hey, cool. Lie detectors detect not just deliberate lies, but also false statements generally. In which case, we can discover the secrets of the Universe by playing Twenty Questions hooked up to one.

This guy is clearly channeling the spirit of Bozo the clown.

A while back I saw something here about people peddling "purple plates" which would tune up your vibrations or somesuch. They also claimed that having one in your pocket would prevent you from setting off a metal detector, and then quickly 'covered' saying that it wouldn't work for terrorists, just people who didn't want to hurt people.

So apparently these plates were also in tune not only with ultimate truth, but ultimate morality as well!

And they give you an absolutely foolproof method of detecting terrorists. All you need is

(a) A metal detector
(b) A piece of metal
(c) A Magical Purple Plate

Anyone who sets of the metal detector whilst carrying items (b) and (c) is a terrorist.

Did anybody else think this whole segment looked pitifully set-up and poorly acted?

My bet is the guy said he saw something, and the director of the show re-set it up to be the dramatic play they aired (ala 'Survivor'). As far as I could tell, the guy was laughing as he ran out of the door - exactly what you would expect from a non-actor acting something out.

This action is probably what broke the bolt as well, despite the lock guy saying that no person could possibly break it.

Truly funny stuff, but I miss Nimoy as host.

You know, they really ought to find a way to revoke Ph Ds for this sort of thing.
 
Wait a minute... Mr. Snow should apply for the for The Million Dollar Prize! After all, the SciFi channel "proved" that he is the reincarnation of this artist, right? ;)
