Sceptical? Bored? A solution is at hand
While playing catch up with Planet Atheism, I saw this Google advert at the foot of the page:
100% accurate astrologer... teehee!
“100% accurate” and “astrologer” are to my mind not two items that should appear in any sentence that makes any kind of sense, but I’m willing to allow someone claiming such things to try to demonstrate it, especially when I don’t have to pay for their woo 100% accurate predictions.
“Jenna”’s credentials appear to quite impressive indeed:
I do like the discovers precise dates & times
bit, but I tried sending the form without any information apart from my email address, but apparently she’s not psychic enough to already know my name, gender, date of birth, occupation and marital status.
If you’re sceptical and bored and looking for some woo to experiment on feel free to give “Jenna” a whirl.

Funny, I filled out the form. She doesn’t take yahoo email addresses so I used another dummy address I have.
I wonder why she doesn’t take yahoo.com addresses? Maybe it has something to do with the money she’ll make on selling those addresses she collects to spammers.

Also reveals the Past and Present.
On this day in 1947, Pakistan won independence from British rule.
Presently, I’m sitting here at my desk calling shenanigans on a woo-shilling charlatan named Jenna.
I guess this makes me a 100% accurate astrologer too! :)

The minute I clicked on the site I realized it was an email collection site for a spam operation..though it won’t be considered spam because by sending your email address you have technically opted in.
Paul, the reason a yahoo address is not accepted is because yahoo is one of the online email sites that has made spamming more difficult.
I used to do contract work for a developer who put many of the present systems in place that help to keep one step ahead of the spammers so I learned quite a bit about the various techniques used by “online marketers”.
