Sometimes I wonder whether TM-Sidhi True Believers

thumping around. Here John presents the ultimate 
non-falsifiable, self-aggrandizing pseudo-prediction. 
If there is an earthquake, it's because there weren't 
enough butt-bouncers. But if there is not an earthquake, 
TM butt-bouncers like himself get to claim that they 
prevented it or held it off. 

I would think that if there were thousands of butt
bouncers doing their programs at the same time
every day in the Bay Area, all that thudding of
fat, out-of-shape butts on foam could actually
*cause* an earthquake. I mean, if they're as full
of shit as they appear to be, each of them is 
lifting several tons off the foam with each bounce,
and then allowing it to plop back to earth with a
resounding thud. Those thuds -- all coherent and 
happening in synchrony, of course -- could create 
a ground wave in the earth's crust that would 
shatter one of the faults. So I think that if there 
*is* a big earthquake in the Bay Area, we should 
hold John and his fellow butt bouncers *responsible*
for it, and stick them with the bill for cleanup.

Extrapolating from John's logic, can't you just 
imagine the bottom line of one of his Jyotish 
readings? This is what the stars predict for you; 
if these things happen, it proves the validity of 
Jyotish. If they *don't* happen, that proves the 
*value* of Jyotish, because by knowing about the 
possibility of these things happening, we 'avoided 
the pain that is to come' and prevented them from 
happening. That'll be $250, please. 

Win-win. Bullshit-bullshit.

A very good point!  We've had that in the back of our minds all along.  You 
spoke it for us.

True Believers (TBs)! In and out of religious cults for

Theory and wouldn't be surprised vs Actual fog measurements


The first article is based on actual measurements:

Since 1901, the average number of hours of fog along the coast in summer has 
dropped from 56 per cent to 42 per cent, which is a loss of about three hours 
per day, said the study leader Dr James Johnstone at the University of 
California.


The second article is merely speculation:

-The theory, then and now, is that the hotter the Central Valley gets, the 
greater the temperature and pressure gradients between the inland and coast 
will be - therefore forming more fog...

UC Santa Barbara researcher Park Williams likewise adds that while the ocean is 
warming, the coastal waters are colder this year. He considers the possible 
effects of global warming along the Pacific coast to be the million-dollar 
question, but wouldn't be surprised if foggier summers are in the offing.

 Foggy this morning on the other side of the tunnel when I drove over to 
 San Lorenzo.   But I'm back and it is sunny and likely to be in the 70's 
 today.   Last summer was cooler than usual.  It has been a colder winter.


It's sunny and clear over here in San Francisco near Ocean Beach.  I just had a 
wonderful Tandoori chicken special at a local Indian restaurant.  I can still 
taste the tart flavoring they put on the garbanzo bean side dish.  Now, I'd 
have to walk these calories off at the Golden Gate Park.

Given the stellium we just passed through maybe we ought not to be too

Speaking of tandoori chicken I sorely miss the tandoori chicken sandwich 
shop that was in the Brenden Theater in Concord.  Oh, were those good!  
The sauce was amazing!  But not enough Indians to support it I guess and 
the rest of Concord, well...  It was a second restaurant for the very 
popular one that was over in the San Pablo or El Cerrito area.
