Exactly!  The smoking verse was a MISS!

It's aptness could have been a fluke, or it could be a secondary channel.

IMO calling it a HIT! was a bit too strong of a channel! re: drug hit.

No, 'everything' I observe is coordinated for me.

I suspect if you constantly withheld good channels from me they would tend to random.

It's like going out of your way to disprove a prediction, it's phsically possible to do that

Essentially, God is putting the random numbers into your head, and letting you think
you selected them with your own free will.

Check out the world famous Picasso painting from earlier this year and the
