Would you settle for some bad Haiku instead?

The problem that intuitive types (psychics and others) experience is that, because they don't deal in *desire* as much as the other psychological types, they mostly mute their ego in the service of the intuition or emotion, they are thought to be desiring the various  outcomes that they prophecize.  That's why masons and the other crazies are basically evil.  :D:D  There's very little DESIRE in prophecy.

Well, except for the desire to believe in nonsense.

Well if you've never experienced it, then perhaps you don't *believe*. :D  I'm sure there's a logical (positivist) reason for their intuitions, but it's still possible that GOD DID IT.

I can't see sh*t now, but here goes!
 
The history of the spelling of the metal element which the English now spell "Aluminium" is a bit more involved than most realise.  It even went through a phase of being spelled "Alumium", which is how it was spelled originally by its original namer, Sir Humphrey Davy.  'Alum', the root, is Latin and means bitter salt (IIRC in chemistry, 'alum' is a double-salt compound and is definitely NOT to be confused with sherbet, especially when a chemistry teacher offers you a bag of 'sherbet', the bastard...although it was kinda funny...afterwards).
 
Anyway, Davy basically cocked up the spelling, then changed it to Aluminum (!) and then afterwards to Aluminium.
