Twitter’s first online séance with the dead will take place on All SaintsSuckers Day October 30, 2009. This hilarious social networking woo-a-palooza–or in proper twitter speak, “Tweance”–will be run by psychic Jayne Wallace, says the Sun. According to the associated twitter account , you can take part in the fun:
Tweet your nominations for departed celebs to contact in the Halloween Tweance and what to ask them to @tweance #tweance
-@tweance (Angels Fancy Dress), 12-10-2009 14:07:47
The Sun explains the event further:
Tweeters can choose which of their deceased idols they want to talk to, pick a question — then follow the “Tweance” in real time using the social networking site.
Jayne [Wallace] — who has been a natural clairvoyant since she was seven — will quiz four late stars nominated by Twitterers between 10am and 12pm on Friday October 30.
“Natural clairvoyant” really means “talented showperson” and “dewoosional hustler,” right? Yes, I just made up the word Dewoosional.
So, which easily-imitated dead celebs can we contact via twitter? Is there a high speed internet connection in heaven now? Have they upgraded from parchment and scrolls since the bronze age?
What do you think will happen during this stunt?

What do you think about common superstitions? How many can you think of that people around you still practice or believe in?
Have you ever:
- avoided stepping on sidewalk cracks
- held your breath in a tunnel
- wished someone “Good luck!”
- walked around a ladder instead of underneath it
- been afraid of breaking mirrors
- crossed yourself, kissed a saint medal, or lit a candle before performing a task
- crossed your fingers when telling a lie or wishing for a certain outcome
- believed in Murphy’s Law
- owned a rabbit’s foot or four-leafed clover
- broken a wishbone with a family member or friend
- kept the groom from seeing the bride before the wedding
All of the above are what we see now as silly superstitious actions and beliefs, but still hold a memorable place in western culture. What others did you grow up with that are still practiced even though they have no basis in science or rational thought? Are you at all superstitious? Do you play along with any superstitions for fun? Does it bother you when someone else does?
