Can your Ouija Board predict how long until your liver transplant?
No, I'd have to cut up a bunch of bar codes and then mix them up in a crystal bowl, pour them onto some foil paper, and then interpret the results to know that.
D'uh!
Taking a scissors break, buddy?
Canvassing the neighborhood to get rid of the phone books?
No opinion of Ouija Boards, eh?
They channel the morphic resonance of other realms, you know. It's a fact, undisprovable. An evolutionary phenomenon without connection to your world of cynical skepticism.

When I was around six, I was over at a friends house and we had just gotten some little diecast submarines (Geoff would know them better as 200 dollar damping devices) and we were 'driving' them around the house. We were under the kitchen table, surrounded by a sea blue table cloth when her mom and some friends came into the kitchen to sit around with a Ouija Board.
We sat there under the table wondering what grown-up mischief was afoot.
As the grown-ups got more into it, I realized the opportunity and when someone asked some kind of spooky question in put my shoulders to the table and started to make it shake and rattle.
The mommies all fled in horror and, discretion being the better part of valor, my friend and I snuck out of the area undetected.
A little later we came back in the front door like we'd been outside and asked what was going on, and the mommies told us true and unrefutable stories of supernatural events that could have been straight out of a Sheldrake book!
Bless her heart, my friend and I never told. I think it made for some great tales of the beyond for her mom and her friends.
Same world, different realities!
Death: Real or placebo?
Yours, real.
Mine, placebo.
Or vice versa!
