Trendopoly — February 23, 2007 — World
The War on Terror took an interesting turn as the Ministry of Defence turned to psychics to further their efforts in determining the location of weapons of mass destruction and in trying to find the elusive Bin Laden.
After spending 18,000 pounds conducting a series of secret tests to determine the legitimacy of professed psychics, the project was called off.
However, according to the Ministry of Defence this was still a judicious use of taxpayers money since it was a chance to demonstrate their willingness to 'think outside the box' in the war on terror.
