Sometimes I wonder whether TM-Sidhi True Believers have *lost* brain cells as a result of all that thumping around. Here John presents the ultimate non-falsifiable, self-aggrandizing pseudo-prediction. If there is an earthquake, it's because there weren't enough butt-bouncers. But if there is not an earthquake, TM butt-bouncers like himself get to claim that they "prevented" it or "held it off." I would think that if there were thousands of butt bouncers doing their "programs" at the same time every day in the Bay Area, all that thudding of fat, out-of-shape butts on foam could actually *cause* an earthquake. I mean, if they're as full of shit as they appear to be, each of them is lifting several tons off the foam with each bounce, and then allowing it to plop back to earth with a resounding thud. Those thuds -- all "coherent" and happening in synchrony, of course -- could create a ground wave in the earth's crust that would shatter one of the faults. So I think that if there *is* a big earthquake in the Bay Area, we should hold John and his fellow butt bouncers *responsible* for it, and stick them with the bill for cleanup. Extrapolating from John's logic, can't you just imagine the bottom line of one of his Jyotish readings? "This is what the stars predict for you; if these things happen, it proves the validity of Jyotish. If they *don't* happen, that proves the *value* of Jyotish, because by knowing about the possibility of these things happening, we 'avoided the pain that is to come' and prevented them from happening. That'll be $250, please." Win-win. Bullshit-bullshit.
