I played it with my friends when I was 10. And guess what? Nothing happened. Wooooo.

I don't take quotes from Aleister Crowley seriously. Not that people haven't also tried this before as well, and you are the first. I still don't. And if I were to talk to the people that have quoted Crowley today, I think I would also get a different answer from those people.

I think the Ouija works if you THINK it works. Like everything.

Good job. But those kinds of gifts should be on the list to Santa.

Online ouija board. Ask away.

Stupid thing lies like a dog.

For god's sake DON'T LOOK AT IT. I did and a debil ate my brain.

Now, can someone tell me if the online Ouija board is more effective, less effective, or the same as the cardboard version, and why?

Define "effective".
  • More accurate? Depends on the programming or the people moving the damn widget.
  • Better for communicating with "spirits"? Exactly the same.
  • Better entertainment? Subjective.

Oh DUH Pie.

BETTER AT CONJURING SPIRITS.

In your opinion, which is the same as mine, they are equally good at conjuring spirits.

I would like to hear what those folks who think a Ouija board has even a remote possibility of contacting spirits think, and why cardboard is a better ghost conjurer than the intrawebz.

Shawnee, it wasn't a devil eating your brain, it was my pre-death, evil spirit, that came by to swallow your soul, and to carry it in my fowl womb. And on to the 7th level of hell, to vomit it on a demon's new 3 piece suit. So the 7 demon daughters could unfold their master plan to steal your first born bebbe'. Makes sense? K?

BWUAHAHAHAAA! *evil grin*
