"Chicken bones are not, in principle, problematic"

Apparently they've never had a disposal get jammed.

TFA: This kind of linguistic trickery is necessary for the regulator to control the legal right of flimflam artists to fleece the vulnerable, and desperate, of their cash.

also applies to religious programming

All of y'all just don't know what it's like to have psychic powers. I was born with an innate ability to tell the future* and accurately predict, to within a year, events that will occur in your life (up to, and including, wedding anniversaries, birthdays, holidays, etc.)*.

*For Entertainment Purposes Only

/Also, in before "Randi is an angry fraud!" crowd

Who puts chicken bones down the disposal?

Everyone knows you just feed them to the dogs.

/Don't do that

I can predict those to within half a year, and about someone I've never met. For instance the person who posts after me will have their birthday on July 4. See? Within half a year!

You can send me money at your earliest convenience.

I can do it within 4 days... Is it Friday?

Wait, wait, hold on just a minute...are you trying to imply that people appearing on television alleging to possess supernatural abilities for benevolent purposes may not, in fact, possess actual supernatural abilities and are in actuality just trying to profit from naive people who will believe anything?

How do the hucksters know they have a gullible audience?

Well, they're watching TV, aren't they?

No, I'm pretty certain the message which was being implied was "chicken butt".

When you put it that way, it does seem a little far fetched.

You're just taking advantage of basic knowledge about the calendar, that doesn't count. I have a gift.

This relic of Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, a dead 17th centry Native American, WILL cure necrotizing fasciitis if placed near the devout patient!

Seriously, when did Christianity decide that powers were imbued into symbolic objects which casts out some kind of localized radiation that requires close physical proximity to the target? That's "magic", and I don't recall Jesus ever mentioning anything like that. I can't recall anything in Old Testament, either. In fact the Commandment against graven images could easily be interpreted to preclude worship of subordinate/ancillary deities alongside God/Jesus.

too bad this doesnt apply to assfarks like Pat Robertson and his league of crooks

The Catholics edited that commandment out.

My friend knew this guy who made a vest of them due to their high strength and then had his buddy shoot him to test if it was bullet proof.

See: 1 Samuel 28:3-20 'Saul and the Medium at Endor'

Also: 2 Chronicles 10:13, 14; Isaiah 8:19-22

Also, Moses' bronze snake had to be broken up because folks started worshipping it.

/Endor! Wat?

. . . the Ministry of Fun.

Can we not have one of these? Why don't we have one already? I was told Congress was the ministry of fun but that's not true - can we have one of these - PLEASE?

I wanna be the Ambassador to SLAPSTICK!

Ohhhhh so much fun


my head hurts now

FTA: "Even those who are worshiping one of the more-universally-recognised gods can't go around promising miracle cures, but those claiming psychic powers are also prohibited from predicting the future, offering personal (life-changing) advice or claiming to be in any way accurate - and they can't say they're able to talk to the dead either."

Can't predict the future or offer advice - what CAN they do then?

One step at a time. The first step is to form a Department of Silly Walks, and to ensure that it gets the same level of funding as the Department of Defense.

I predict that (at least) two people in this tread have birthdays on the same day of the year.
Step up with your gift and tell us which two.
