One of the world’s most recognizable self-proclaimed psychics was wrong yet again about the fate of a missing child, and her followers on social media are taking her to task.
Browne’s prediction about Amanda Berry’s fate was not the first child whose fate she attempted to explain, but her fans on social media are waiting for acknowledgment from the self-proclaimed spiritual leader.
As Jon Ronson wrote in his 2007 profile on predatory psychics, Browne has spoken face-to-face with many distraught parents and wrongly forecasted life or death. Shawn Hornbeck was a missing child whose parents were told by Browne that their son was buried between two boulders.

Too lazy to rise from your squalid sofa to change an XBox game?
Relax, degenerate, and behold this fully-functioning but deeply silly App-controlled XBox disc autochanger built by LEGO nut Zwekka from 3,000 parts including three LEGO Mindstorms NXT micro-computers, seven NXT servos, an R/C motor and a light sensor.
The carousel holds 32 discs and the average change-out time is 42 seconds.
Plenty of time for you to take a wazz into that empty Fanta bottle without getting up.
There is a Bloke on Vincent Browne who looks like Claire Balding.

Censorship.
Old school.
The Herald can reveal that Mr [Tommy] Morris [advisor to Derek Keating, Fine Gael TD, above] entered the local Centra store last Friday and removed dozens of copies of the[Lucan Gazette].
Our pictures show him enter the outlet just before 9am. He lifts a stack of papers and takes them outside, before returning and taking further copies.
He then dumped the papers in a litter bin nearby.
The shop is situated yards from Mr Keating’s home.
And HERE‘s the story he/they tried to lift.

What to do with a million tonnes of spoil under the water at Dublin bay?
Ciaran Cuffe writes:
I’m wondering could we carefully place the the rock spoil out at the edge of Dublin Bay on top of the Burford Bank and create a new island.
…The water is fairly shallow there: only about three fathoms or five and a half metres deep at the lowest tide. Arranging the spoil in a ten metre high mound resting on the sea-bed could produce a new island ten kilometres to the east of Ringsend.
Such an island could be an amenity that Dubliners could sail, motor or row out to on a summers evening, you could even plant a few pine trees, put in a pier and and a few picnic tables.
The island itself might be one hundred metres in diameter, with a rock reef to protect it from erosion. The area around the island could be designated as a marine park, and might protect vulnerable marine species from over-fishing.
How about a new island for Dublin Bay? (Ciaran Cuffe)
