Some months later he received civil law suit papers from a woman who claim he caused her to get "pregos" because his super powers of mental metal manipulation made the little silver metal Intrauterine Device come out while she watched the show while making love to her boyfriend. I never heard if the case had a successful outcome. Just shows that there are a lot of us crazies out there. Even when we think in critical ways, we can still come to wrong conclusions. Example: I once thought a critical thought. I expressed it to my wife. She took offense to my critical thoughts that her backsides was getting big. I got a whack out of that critical thought. Shoulda kept my critical thoughts to myself.

There he plans to use a radio-telescope to send signals to Aliens and will then try to receive their answers mentally... This stupidness will be on TV during prime time! (Co-Host of the show is Erich von Däniken). I am curios if he intends to explain that radio signals "only" travel with the speed of light and that it takes years to reach a star. Or probably he wants to contact aliens living on Jupiter ;) (The scheduled duration for the show is just long enough for a signal to reach Jupiter and its moons).
