Psychics predict panda pregnancy

I'm not sure why I'm always attracted to these crazy stories - but here it is.
Lun Lun the giant panda may be pregnant.
That, at least, is the consensus of two psychics, enlisted Friday by Zoo Atlanta to predict the 8-year-old female panda's pediatric prospects.Atlanta-born psychic Helene Frisch said she telepathically connected with Lun Lun using "tone vibration," the release said. Frisch said she discerned that not only is Lun Lun pregnant, but she will likely bear a male cub by September 4.Another psychic -- Andy Liu, a native of China -- used the ancient I Ching to calculate a 65 percent chance that Lun Lun is pregnant.

Ok.. It's not as bad as it sounds... the zoo artificially inseminated the Panda and did this as a publicity stunt ;) Smart PR person!

hmm... Lun Lun got pregnant and there wasn't a man involved? Looks like we've finally found Panda Jesus!

Doubt it all you want, I've already got the frankincense.
