I'm highly skeptical of paranormal phenomena so i don't listen to George Noory very often, but he had a gentleman on the other evening who claimed he could get non-functioning time pieces to work. He started by explaining that when he was young he would turn around and if he looked at a digital clock it would always read 11:11. He explained how that number was significant in his life and spoke of unusual occurrences that happened to him. Towards the end of the show he said to get any non-functioning time pieces ready. I have an old watch in my desk drawer that hasn't worked in years because the battery in it is dead. He said, "Hold it in your hand and say, 'work.'" Then he said, "Now say it like you mean it." I played along. I opened my hand and the second hand wasn't moving, it was stuck at 58 seconds. He then said, If it isn't working hold it up to your ear. Can you hear it ticking?" I held my watch to my ear and damned if it didn't start ticking! I looked at it and the second hand was moving; then it stopped - at 9 seconds. I swear that watch with a dead battery ran for 11 seconds.

Just to play Devil's advocate wouldn't that mean the YOU made the clock run? I mean my dead clocks didn't run this week and if you had to say "work" that means you are the one with the ability to make things work. Now at the Purdue game we'll get you down on the field and you can hold the game ball and say "Rockets-Win." Unless that means we'll only score 11 points.

Jeff has my vote for the new WR coach. If he can get them all to hang on to the ball for 11 seconds that will be a miracle.

I used to listen to Noory once in a while when it was on earlier. I thought that about 95% of it was just silliness, but every once in a while he had a "normal" person on with some interesting information to share.

If you don't wear the watch you might want to have that battery removed. It will probably leak eventually and damage your watch.
