Motto of the month:
Of course we skeptics keep an open mind, but not so wide the brain falls out.
Stilgoe's Law: to test if you are really NOT superstitious.
Bring a photograph of your romantic partner, or of a son or daughter to a meeting. Here is an ice pick. Will you poke out the eyes in the picture? Will you poke out the eyes for ten dollars? Most students will not do this, the image has the power of a voodoo doll.
