Of course you know that. But did you know how they get the answers they come up with? I worked for one briefly when I was 18. The manager didn't want to me to answer any questions directly and didn't want me to be "intentionally" misleading. So she told me to do what she does, which is to write a bunch of vague answers on a piece of paper then hold a piece of string with a crystal attached at the bottom. Move the string in a circular motion and which even answer it stops on, there you go. Stupid shit, and the fact that she tried to make the lying process somewhat mystical was just retarded.

new age ppl actually believe that's a valid way to discern the truth. the string and crystal thing is called a "pendulum." it's supposed to channel the universe's energy into getting the right answer.
