    Post Britain Finds Cure for Recession!

    Looks like our neighbors across the pond have stumbled on the solution:

    For exactly two minutes on March 6th at 11.00am our consortium of psychics and healers will act as a channel for the positive thoughts of the entire country.

    Why Mach 6th at 11 am, you ask? Simple:

    March 6th has been chosen as Faith of Britain Day because March is a time of seeing light emerging from the darkness of Winter, therefore emphasising hope in an unsure world. Numerologically this date is symbolic because the 3rd month, the 6th day and the 9th year are all multiples of 3 which is about balance - which is what we strive to achieve as humans. The time, 11.00am is a master number, or a powerful 2 (1 + 1) which is the duality of the inner and outer self, encouraging us to look within to find solutions.

    Everybody clear on that? Now let's invoke quantum physics, even though we have no idea what that is.

    It is a proven scientific fact that thinking about something often causes it to happen. Some call this quantum physics. Others simply call it "faith." We ask that you open your mind to joining in with a unique psychic force that will change our lives through the power of thought.

    -edit-

    When I imagine the people involved with something like this, I picture the following:

    Sorry but my horoscope for next month says I should not believe in any mumbo jumbo, so no thanks.

    6 March. A Friday (and payday, yay!). 1100 GMT = 0300 California time. OK, I'll get up an hour earlier, and do an "OhhhhhM".

    Hey... it's no more voodoo than "let's throw money we don't have everywhere, and hope it sticks.".
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    It's to resurrect the Empire, so potential subjects of the British Empire II don't need to do it.

    One of the episcopal clergymen who attended him went to the edge of the scaffold, and called out in a loud voice, "My lord dies a Protestant." "Yes,"
    said the Earl, stepping forward, "and not only a protestant, but with a heart hatred of Popery, of Prelacy, and of all superstition." He then embraced
    his friends, put into their hands some tokens of remembrance for his wife and children, kneeled down, laid his head on the block, prayed during a
    few minutes, and gave the signal to the executioner.

    I saw a show once called 'The Secret'. It had a lot of what you describe here.
    I tried it and it worked with parking spaces, but the 10 million has yet to materialize in my bank account.

    There's a catch: if you don't get everyone on board, it goes horribly, horribly wrong.

    I never thought of that: the psychic wobble effect.

    If the GB, at even 40%, with the Commonwealth at a respectable 20%, and the former colonies participate at 9-12% (just for old-tymes sake), while the rest just set on thir bums and do nothing...

    M'gaw. The implications are huge. We've obviously got to either:

    1) get the whole world to participate, or
    2) scrap it all

    lest we do harm.

    It'll wind up with everyone working together except for one guy (maybe with the munchies!) hoping for Chinese food. And the world will drown in General Tso's sauce. A delicious way to go.

    Maybe the approach was wrong…

    A strong enough vacuum might neutralize the outward force…
