...Yosemite's notorious El Capitan. On ice, where one wrong strike with an ice ax can bring down an avalanche, Erik has learned to listen to the ice as he pings it gently with his ax. If it clinks, he avoids it. If it makes a thunk like a spoon hitting butter, he knows it's solid...
Yuri Geller claims he can bend spoons simply by using his brain. In the South Korean city of Taejon, people are learning a very similar trick - though they need a computer between themselves and the cutlery. Here's how the experimental software works. You don an electrode-studded cap that monitors brain waves and sends data to a computer that displays a virtual spoon. Different types of mental activity produce distinct signals in the brain, and the computer can discern, in a crude way, what's going on inside your head. To make the spoon bend, you have to relax...
...unthinkable: Who, then, would support his wife and child back home? But already, nausea, headaches, dizziness, skin rashes and vomiting are part of his daily routine.

...father who showed me love, and my father never did that," said Jackson. "He never gave me a piggyback ride; he never threw a pillow or a water balloon at me." After the speech, Jackson remained in England to serve as best man at the wedding of psychic spoon bender Uri Geller. Again he was hours late, forcing Geller to improvise and hold the reception before the ceremony. Somehow, Geller did not foresee Jackson's tardiness...
