Psychic Challenge 2012 – Update!
We’re halfway through the year, so it’s a good time to check in on the Psychic Challenge 2012, and see how everyone’s predictions are panning out.
The Psychic Challenge page has been updated with some commentary and links.
We’ve had a few hits, a few misses, and more than a few wait-and-sees.
Roughly speaking, the skeptics are slightly in the lead. But it’s still anyone’s game.
