I was, of course, aware of the significance of 42. Now, statistically speaking, that's occurring 10 times more frequently than it should. And it was consistent.2: DiceThis one's a little harder to believe, but it happened. In school, I did a statistics project, and decided to do psychokinesis(!). My method: I took one d6 and rolled it 20 times, concentrating on '1'. Much to my surprise, it came up '1' about 20% more often than other numbers. I then repeated, with the same die, concentrating on '2', '3' etc. and the same thing happened. Now, I can't see any flaws in this method. (Needless to say, my die-rolling was top class, being a roleplayer; I don't think I was rolling in a cheating fashion if that's even possible.)On a related note, one of my players cannot roll anything but 3 or 5 on a d20... any d20. I really have to concentrate while gaming because I'm afraid I'll accidentally wipe out the entire party.3: DischargesThis one most people won't believe, but again, it's true. One day years ago I observed two of my younger siblings sitting on the couch going about their own business. Every so often, one of them would rub their hands together and mime throwing something at the other one. The other one inevitably responded as though they'd got a static electric shock. This happened even when the victim's back was turned. Now note that this was years before DragonBallZ came out in New Zealand, and that they hated the show when it arrived anyway.Fast forward a few years. I decided to try something similar while watching some crappy TV show. I rubbed my hands without actually touching them and cast forth whatever it was that the motion built up. TV reception went crazy; the soundtrack crackled for minutes afterwards.Frankly, I've been too scared to try it again.It's all true, by the way. I'd be willing to take polygraph or whatever to prove it. Now that may sound defensive, but in my past experience people dismiss these events and I just want to state that they're true as emphatically as possible.</blockquote>
