When I was around 12 or 13, I fell for the "Miss Cleo," scam. :lol: I called when I was at my Aunt's house, and the Psychic asked if my little cousins laughing in the background were my CHILDREN. I suspicious, said, "No.":rolleyes::confused: I thought that was a red flag because if she were a REAL Psychic, she should have known I was only 12 or 13 and shouldn't HAVE kids yet at that age. :rolleyes::confused: That phone call cost my aunt about $50 and my Dad paid my Aunt for me, like "She's my daughter and a kid and didn't know better, so I'll pay you for that phone call," thing. He then warned me to never call a Psychic again, and I never did:crazy: . I remember saying this on another Website and Posters were like," Your Dad should have taken that $50 out of your allowance. My dad would have used my allowance to pay that $50 off."

If someone could predict the future, they would be trillionaires. Elon Musk would be hired to shine their shoes and drive them around. Imagine predicting which stocks will go up, the winner of any sporting event to bet on, to be able to go into a casino and know the next number on a roulette wheel.
But the “psychic” will counter this by saying that they don’t use their “powers” for personal gain. Well, they sort of do, if they are charging so much a minute to talk to them on the phone. Plus it isn’t Cleo, it’s just someone off the street they hired. Would be a fun job actually, I would mess with people asking questions, “I see you winning the lottery, then die in a car wreck next week.” “You will meet a tall, dark and handsome stranger, then wake up at a Motel 6 room tied to a bed with his bowels on your head!” I could even adapt a fake Jamaican accent “This be Cleo mon, I gots my fruit hat on and will answer all questions!”
I would get fired quickly however because I wouldn’t be able to keep from laughing.

There is a story in the bible where Jesus is at some gathering, people approach him from behind and tap him on his (back/shoulder?) and his reply is "Who is this?"
And I always felt that an all-knowing omnipotent should have already known.

LMAO! :lol: But in all honesty, I have a feeling he already knew, he was just doing the Bible's version of Trolling. ;):lol::crazy:
