This quote is beautiful:

"I hope that we dont get so advanced that we can travel faster then light but that were so stupid that we cant perform surgery without leaving big ass scars and memories that some fucking psychologist something soemthing something".. Classic. If I could remember it.

"A 3 hour regression costs 60 dollars per session, but sometimes they come back for 20.. 30.. 40 regressions.. I like that situation. ::big stupid smile::" - Psychologist
"I bet she does!" - Penn

And according to some nutter, Both Bush's are reptillian aliens. Amazing, they travel billions and billions of miles for oil. Fascinating.

Jesus fucking christ I love this show! ::weeps:: T_T

As a Canadian who doesn't even KNOW what Showtime is, I am really, really annoyed that I cannot watch this obviously wonderful program.

If anyone - read as ANYONE - finds a way for someone to grab these episodes online or otherwise, please post here immediately.

It's a shame I don't even have cable. But I'll manage to catch an episode one way or another. It's good that they have a show like this on television, instead of some mysticist nonsense like Crossing Over.

"Other programmers wanted us to do a show that was less, well, hard-core," says Penn. "They wanted us to show magic tricks used by scam artists, then at the end we'd say, 'And here's one we can't figure out.' I call that the Fox point of view. They wanted us to say, 'Oh, there are some things we don't understand, so they might be true,' which is an idiotic way to think.
Penn and Teller are my heroes.

I wanted to see their show when I was in Vegas last December 2002. Unfortunately for me, they were taking their Christmas break for the year.
