Jaime Licauco has been on a trip into the abyss since who knows when and is still on a journey into the depths of credulity and flummery. This week he provides "evidence" for teleportation. He cites two biblical stories that he claims evinces the reality of teleportation. Here's another "evidence" from his trove of anecdotes:

Benny and Nora and their teenaged daughter lived in San Juan, Metro Manila. One evening the couple went to the movies while their daughter spent the night at a friend's. When they got home, Benny discovered to his horror that he forgot the key to the front door, and nobody could open it for them.

Benny asked his wife to see if there was a partly open window at the back that they could use to get into the house. As his wife walked away, Benny stood in front of the main door angry at himself and wishing he could figure out a way to get inside.

All of a sudden, he blacked out, losing consciousness momentarily. When he opened his eyes, he was inside the house. He opened the door just as his wife returned to report she could find no opening at the back.

As he opened the door from the inside, she exclaimed, "How did you get in? Did you find the key?" When he told her what happened, she, of course, couldn't believe it. But both were relieved they did not have to destroy the lock of their rented house at such late hour.

I think I should ask Jimmy if he's ever studied the paranormal phenomenon technically known as "prankism."

Jimmy sums up his level of credulity as follows: "As the Bible itself attests to the phenomenon's existence, I suppose there is no reason to doubt its reality."
