Hey, wait a second, lets try this with another figure. Jesus. While we dont have the sacred text of the tooth fairy (the Brush-Gums Veda), we do happen to have quite a few from the Judeo Christian faith. Lets start with the gospels for those reading at home John 14:12, 14;14, Matthew 7:7 & 18:19 (and a few other places). Hard core instructions for getting a little hot miracle action out of Jesus.
Like the Egyptian Book of the Dead, these are instructions. The veritable RTFM for getting the big JC to come on down and do some prayer answering and divine man, god and spirit action.
Do they work? Nope. Can you test them. Yep. Do they work when you test them. Nope. Of course you can fall back on the moves in mysterious ways thing, just like the Tooth Fairy.

Quote:I think you need to read a little more carefully. The report is rather clear and concise on the matter. Your own ability to pull data from it might be a little skewed. The Register article was for satiric bite, hence the link to the report itself.
I did read the report you linked in. I'd suggest you go with the facts and not the left wing crapfest of the register. However, I find it strange that none of the scientists asked the question 'why'?. Also page 42 of the report seems to be confusing on how they got their control group together.

Quote:Ah Empirical Scientific testing. Now the true toothfairy-ologist will state that the Tooth fairy is not fooled by such silly games and will actively seek to disarm them. (For the record the Tooth Fairy is not omnipotent, but is, to paraphrase Peter Cooke as George Spiggot, highly maneuverable.
Wanna bet? Any rational person can put a childs tooth under a pillow. lock the room up tight. and go in in the morning to see that the tooth is still there. I pretty much just proved it

Quote:I hate to be blunt here, (no I dont but literary form must be maintained) Ill go to Morgenstern for this one (Paraphrased) Logic? Common Sense? You keep using those words, I dont think they mean what you think they mean.
I live by everything is possible til proven different though
with a bit of common sense and logic thrown in. Sort of a half empty/half full thing.
