Do you think people with paranormal abilities should be allowed to compete in the real Olympics against people with two legs or do their wheelchairs give them an unfair advantage? Except in high jumping.

Or swimming

Or climbing up steps.

I mean just the running events.

But do paranormals have anything on the quads?

Simian, going in the direction Boro has posted and taken it.

Only if they first demonstrate their "paranormal" abilities by predicting who will win the race.

I knew you were going to say that. And Jim says "Hi!" from beyond.

Jim Nastik was a local paranormal high bar swinger and bouncer that predicted his own rise and fall, and around and around, and belly slap on lower bar, at the recent paranormal olympic drinking pre-lims. Unfortunately, he didn't predict that getting legless at the Fat Dog bar and grill would see him disqualified. Some people wanted to get him an electric chair, as you don't need a license for those! Knowing him, he would have only rolled it going around corners at 20 miles an hour, late at night.

Anyway, to cut a long one short, he now gets a taxi to the pub.

I'll believe in people with paranormal abilities when one of them takes Randi's prize. Last I heard it was up to a million bucks and unclaimed.

Britain always excels at the paranormal olympics, I'm not sure we don't even come out top every time. Our normal olympians also usually perform like a pack of spastics.
