Ugh. I had stomach flu all weekend and couldn’t get to this question until I felt well enough to form my thoughts and type. But having the extra time was okay. It gave me time to think about it.
So here it is, my latest answer in the Paranormal Phenomena category at allexperts.com. The questioner, James, was asking about psi phenomena and how a non-psychic might develop insight.

Oil change
Was sitting in the car dealer earlier today, getting that seasonal oil change, playing with the iPad and Pinning up a storm, when this played over the waiting room speakers. Ahh… what memories.

Curious Custom
We got a real Christmas tree this year after using an artificial one for three or four seasons.
As much as I love the scent and presence, I have to wonder if it’s ethical, having this poor thing half alive, half dead, sitting in a pan of water in the living room.
Charles Robert Darwin
Charles Robert Darwin (1809-82) was an English naturalist whose The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection of 1859 proposed a view of evolution in which "natural selection" determines which species survive and which perish.
In opposition to Larmarck, Darwin believed that evolutionary changes were the result of mutations.¹ New species that happened to survive in physical environments (which also changed) replaced those species that did not.
A little housecleaning…

Saved by Mingus
Original fossils of Pithecanthropus erectus (now Homo erectus) found in Java in 1891 via Wikipedia
January/February can be a trying time in Canada. The weather is pretty cold and if, as in my case, you’re coming out of having a cold (i.e. sniffles), some of these chilly days can feel a bit like an endurance test.
So after finishing my daily chores, I threw a Charles Mingus CD (Pithecanthropus Erectus) into my boombox.
Ahh… now THAT’s the antidote to the mid-winter grind.

Here’s another question at AllExperts.com. I’m not a blind debunker of all things paranormal. But with these types of issues I always stress the importance of looking for natural answers to supposedly paranormal phenomena.
