Its unfortunate, he may have some good things to pass on but who will believe him
Note that there are 179000 idiots out there who probably believe it

Chopra Blames Own Meditation for Baja Quake
Katie Drummond
AOL News (April 5) -- The U.S. Geological Survey is blaming day-to-day seismological changes for Sunday's 7.2 earthquake along the U.S.-Mexico border. But Deepak Chopra, the famed alternative-medicine practitioner and transcendental meditation guru, is pretty sure he knows what really happened.
"Had a powerful meditation just now -- caused an earthquake in Southern California," Chopra wrote to his nearly 179,000 Twitter followers shortly after the quake.

Good lord ::)

He sounds like a Uri Geller wanna-be. Geller used to take credit for anything that went haywire around him.

Seriously?! I say they should send him bill for the damages and see if his story changes.

Chopra draws on a well spring of wisdom.

Unfortunately, he has an ego the size of everest! lol

He gives great advice that he doesn't seem to take.

Guruing is big business in Cali.
There's lots of lost minds there I guess.

I'd like to see him and Wayne Dyer in a knife fight to the finish though. ;D

This is a picture from the quake as it happened in Tecate, Mexico. I think Deepak has some awesome internal power and we should all follow him. I think if, as a group, we wear Snuggies and basic black Nikes we'll get his attention and impress him with our sincere intent.

Mr Chopra, I am intrigued by your ideas, and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Couple of messages following that one, from his twitter account:

"On further reflection correlation is not causation :)"

"Some people were upset at my remarks re earthquake. Sorry about that. I was actually meditating when it happenned and thougt" Whoaaa!""

Sounds like Graham was right. Although that's probably not the best subject for humor... :-/

Ancient method to detach from the materialism of this mortal coil...all yours for $29.99....I'm sick and tired of the packaging and selling off of my culture for profit by people who talk the talk but don't walk the walk. Chopra and the many, many like him can be introduced to a deep form of meditation that I wish to initiate them into. It's called "Path to enlightenment through sudden inspiration" and the method is me knocking them the F**k out.

See? I'm down with Deepak. All you unenlightened guys just don't get our level of humour ;D In fact, for just $20 I can send you our new audio CD release 'Understanding the humour of the great ones'. It's a bargain!

For only 32.50 I will personally crap in your mouth and kick you in the chest.

If you aren't enlightened after that, I'll do it again for half price!!!

Half price!!!

You guys, don't be jealous cause Deepak was chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that he's training to be a cage fighter.
