No, it does make perfect sense. Tom Send a noteboard - 21/12/2011 06:17:02 PM
1. I dreamt I saw a plane floating down the river, the GW Bridge was to my right, it was floating along the river across my field of vision to the left. I knew from the dream the plane had been going to the south and it was either late Fall or Winter. I had this dream in September 2008.

2. I told my friends about the dream. This was the first dream I told my friends about in several years. It was the first one that I had the apprehension about that I have when I dream this type of dream since the Yeltsin dream of 2007 (and that was an easy one, since I turned on the TV immediately and saw Yeltsin was dead).

3. When the "Miracle on the Hudson" event occurred, I was at a business meeting. I didn't connect the dream with the event instantaneously because (a) I was focused on the business meeting, (b) I was on the 67th floor of the Empire State Building, not ground level as in my dream and (c) when nothing had happened by the end of November the previous year I assumed that I was wrong about the dream, that it was the first time I had mentioned something like this that didn't happen and I was mistaken.

4. Before I could even process this very long (i.e., about 30 seconds), the two people in the room looked at me and said, "So your dream did come true".

It is entirely possible I would have made the connection after about 5 minutes or so, but since I had told both people about my dream, they both knew and were both still "waiting to see if something happened".
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Kim Jong-il is dead. Would you become a fervent believer? - 19/12/2011 03:37:28 AM 1532 Views
If I was a Christian, I'd pray that he would burn forever in hell. - 19/12/2011 03:47:52 AM 942 Views
See, I can't be an atheist. - 19/12/2011 03:53:55 AM 909 Views
I agree about atheism - 19/12/2011 04:19:02 AM 771 Views
It's an approximation. - 19/12/2011 05:40:05 PM 792 Views
no, I'm not saying that the sheer number of people alone is sufficient - 19/12/2011 10:13:09 PM 675 Views

No, Pascal's Wager is stupid. - 19/12/2011 03:09:42 PM 774 Views
You obviously misread my comments or ignored them. - 19/12/2011 03:39:59 PM 762 Views
You're answering a different point to the one I was addressing. - 19/12/2011 04:01:54 PM 694 Views
For atheism to be a tenable position, one must assume that millions lie about their experiences. - 20/12/2011 04:11:53 AM 784 Views
Look, doesn't this go against your most sacred principle? - 20/12/2011 06:43:27 AM 747 Views
I'm pretty sure he's not saying it's undeniable proof. - 20/12/2011 09:19:44 AM 709 Views
No, it doesn't. - 20/12/2011 08:30:55 PM 673 Views

This militant atheism is somewhat amusing. - 20/12/2011 09:48:57 PM 735 Views
... somewhat irrational at times too - 21/12/2011 01:22:54 AM 649 Views
Huh? - 21/12/2011 10:47:06 AM 694 Views
That's somewhat unrelated to the intended point of the post - 21/12/2011 12:41:49 PM 701 Views
My "Huh?" was at your claim that any reasonable definition Kim Jong-il was a millitant athiest - 21/12/2011 12:58:44 PM 696 Views
You're objecting to me calling the Military Dictator militant? - 21/12/2011 03:13:35 PM 733 Views
Is that the long way of saying you can't back up what you said? - 21/12/2011 04:06:06 PM 660 Views
Okay - 21/12/2011 05:03:07 PM 759 Views
Your position isn't rational nor logical - 20/12/2011 12:45:03 PM 722 Views
How about a faith atheist? - 19/12/2011 04:28:59 PM 842 Views
Nevermind. It appears you answered that in your reply to Tim. *NM* - 19/12/2011 04:32:19 PM 410 Views

Sounds like you must be a modern-day prophet - 19/12/2011 05:24:24 PM 642 Views
Well, it's *possible* that he is. - 19/12/2011 05:49:34 PM 742 Views
Hah, fair enough - 19/12/2011 06:47:07 PM 691 Views
Idiocy. Confirmation bias doesn't explain away external phenomena. - 20/12/2011 04:19:10 AM 772 Views
Well. - 21/12/2011 01:49:36 PM 681 Views
I didn't forget about it. I was getting ready to give up on it. - 21/12/2011 02:27:18 PM 674 Views
That doesn't really make sense. - 21/12/2011 03:04:23 PM 574 Views
No, it does make perfect sense. - 21/12/2011 06:17:02 PM 712 Views
Also, learn to use the subjunctive. It's "if I WERE a Christian..." - 19/12/2011 03:54:20 AM 762 Views

You know what's really weird? - 19/12/2011 11:32:23 AM 736 Views
It has been there for 6 hours at this stage. - 19/12/2011 12:34:57 PM 807 Views

I can attest to the fact that this conversation took place on Facebook Saturday. - 19/12/2011 09:19:06 PM 682 Views
Yeah, I thought that reply seemed in the wrong place - 19/12/2011 09:28:17 PM 680 Views
