[edit] The Exorcist
Why is there no mention of the Ouija being used in the movie The Excorcist? Smiloid (talk) 08:01, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
- Is this a rhetorical question?
[edit] Glaring Lack of Citation
The piece states, under the Other Notable Users section, “during sleepovers with her friends, Amy Carter would use a Ouija board to get into contact with Abraham Lincoln, whose spirit is believed to haunt the Lincoln Bedroom,” then proudly goes on to admit that, in fact, a citation is actually needed for this claim. Why is this claim even included without the citation? Something of that nature is worthless without the citation. This is very un-encyclopedic...rather tabloid-like. However, if we’re going to sling undocumented, unsubstantiated, un-provable claims up there in the list then I have some to suggest – of course, citation is needed, but in the mean time lets put them up there until someone else comes along and does the work of providing the citation for us:
- Neil Armstrong took an Ouija Board to the moon and used it to communicate with well known Lunar Spirits. This was documented in the 1976 independent film (unreleased) Moon Spirit
- Hillary Clinton has revealed that a fundamental piece of her campaign strategy is daily sessions with a Ouija Board (often in a hotel bedroom) during which time she communicates with Victoria Woodhull, Lenora Fulani's grandmother, and Pat Paulson to seek advice and to glean wisdom from their failed Presidential campaigns
- All four mummified Communist leaders currently on display around the world (Kim Il Sung, Ho Chi Minh, Mao, and Lenin) had an Ouija board placed in a secret compartment within their bier in order to allow for communication from the grave. Only officials of the Mormon Church in Salt Lake City have keys that will unlock the secret drawer
- Within Wellington’s Beehive, behind the cornerstone laid by members of an ultra secret Masonic Lodge, there is buried a pure gold Ouija Board that controls all Ouija Boards in New Zealand and several Pacific island nations under Kiwi tutelage.
Of course, all these “facts” require citation but, hey, this is Wikipedia so let’s just slap them up there on the page for all the world to see and accept that our collective mother will come along and tidy the mess for us because we can’t do a thorough job of substantiating our silly little contributions –- so she needs to come do it for us -- right after she wipes our bum, zips our trousers, and helps us to wash our collective hands. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.79.62.16 (talk) 09:16, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
