This article, though from Englishdroid, seems to be uncomfortably close to the truth. At least to me. How many others work with, or teach, people who are almost certainly totally mad, or hold mad beliefs?

Oh, I once had a DOS who hired people (or not) based on whether they could identify crystals and their properties correctly. Honestly, it worked ok sometimes, and not so well others - basically like most other hiring criteria Shocked

Ah, in her case it was more like tourmalines and rose crystals and such things, eh. But you're correct that she was Canadian, eh.
