March 18, 2001: One of the best things about having a college-age brother is that his thinking isn't all ossified yet, so he points me to things like Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research, which (as all you hippies must surely know) is "Scientific Study of Consciousness-Related Physical Phenomena." Seems they have 20 years of research suggesting that human consciousness can affect physical phenomena (i.e. you could reach out your hand while strung upside-down in an icy cave and pull your lightsaber to you). I want to believe!
