In case you were wondering why (scientific) psychology (still) doesn't get much respect from natural scientists, psychics are apparently doing a booming business during the current business bust. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/23/fashion/23psychic.html?_r=1&ref=fashion
This is quite amusing from a historical perspective. It is exactly the same battle that psychologists were fighting at the turn of the last century, when Hall, Cattell, Titchener, Jastrow, and others were insisting that psychology was a natural science, entirely separate from the psychics and spiritualists who also called themselves "psychologists" at the time, but were unable to make the distinction stick in he minds of the publics and those of other scientists... especially with William James continuing his lifelong search for telepathic powers.
