Xenu commands you to show him the money!
This Rolling Stone article on Scientology has been making the skeptical rounds in the past couple days, and it is very interesting. (Those Scientologists! So nutty! So wacky! So litigious!) But this part alerted my snark detector, in a paragraph discussing the "operating thetan" category of ubermensch:
"So is Tom Cruise, who is near the top of Scientology's Bridge, at a level
known as OT VII. OTs are Scientology's elite -- enlightened beings who are
said to have total "control" over themselves and their environment. OTs
can allegedly move inanimate objects with their minds, leave their bodies
at will and telepathically communicate with, and control the behavior of,
both animals and human beings."
That's right: Tom Cruise can control time and space with the powers of his mind. Reportedly he'll gain the ability to act when he reaches the next level.
There's also an RPG joke just waiting to happen here, but I'll leave that up to you.
