Nothing too exciting go on, so I figured I would just tell an amusing story from my days of working in interet tech support.
One morning a lady called in complaining that she had gone to a web site where she was asked to concentrate on a card, and the card was then removed. She was convinced that the computer had read her mind, and that's how the trick was done. The funny thing about it was that she assumed that it was natural for computers to read minds, she just wanted to make sure that hackers couldn't break into her computer to read her mind. I finally managed to convince her that computers cant' read minds, and got her off the phone. About five seconds afterwards, I realized that I really should have told her to wear an aluminum foil deflector beanie, but oh well.
Maybe one of these days I'll share the story of the time my coworker got yelled at by the drunken guitar player from Molly Hatchet. Or perhaps the story of why I think Martha Stewart's a cokehead.

You should have told her that, yes he computer was reading her mind and if she didn't send you $20,000 it was gonna eat her too.
