Uri Geller and the mysterious post box

strikeback · 10-09-2013, 11:45 PM

So what's going on here?

"Entertainer Uri Geller and other villagers say they are mystified by the appearance of a red letterbox in the middle of a bridge.

The box has been placed on a buttress on the downstream side of the bridge, which crosses the River Thames.

Residents of Sonning-on-Thames, Berkshire, said the box could only be reached by river users.

Mr Geller, who has lived in the village for 33 years, said he had "never seen anything like it".

"This is a very unusual village," he added.

"There are many sightings of a child ghost that walks on the bridge.

"Maybe it was the ghost of a mischievous little girl?

"I have never seen anything like this anywhere in the world, it's a new one on me."

Royal Mail spokesperson Val Bodden said: "The recent appearance of a postbox frontage on the side of the river bridge at Sonning is a mystery to us.

"It is certainly not an operational posting facility and we have no knowledge of how it arrived at this location."

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Geller is the one who put it there.

Why and how does he keep resurfacing? I was hoping I'd seen the last of him 25 years ago.

Geller is as fake as the Sunday Sport story of Alf posting letters in the dog bin.

Yes. I was having fun with it. He is a proven trickster. Although I think it's interesting how much in the mainstream he was decades ago, and how skepticism for many people also was turned into absolute disbelief of everything... the opposite extreme to being gullible to believe everything without question. That is, believing nothing outside of what you're told by authority to be fact. Start talking about anything outside of the mainstream of thinking, and you're shot down automatically instead of asked questions.

I'm always wary of people who show up in the main stream of media.

True skepticism is fine and helpful. But not with closed mindedness to a point where you only accept what is inside the box. Do you see what I'm saying?

Geller is not in the original version of the picture. Which is most probably a photoshopped job to begin with.
