    Ooh a Derren Brown thread

    "Miracles For Sale" where he exposes the fraudulent and money making scams associated with faith healers was another brilliant programme he did.

    He was once a "happy clappy speaking in tongues" type Christian and payed to be cured of his gayness so that could be why he finds these people so abhorrent.

    He also has some brilliant interviews on youtube with Richard Dawkins explaining how mediums use cold reading to convince people they are in contact with their dead friends or realtives. He exposed a fraudulent medium called Joe Power in another programme which was also excellent.

    The day I got invited backstage to Derren's dressing room by James Rhodes is still one of the most memorable days of my entire life.

    Here are some lyrics to consider:

    By Al Wilson

    The Snake

    On her way to work one morning
    Down the path along side the lake
    A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake
    His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
    "Oh well," she cried, "I'll take you in and I'll take care of you"
    "Take me in oh tender woman
    Take me in, for heaven's sake
    Take me in oh tender woman," sighed the snake

    She wrapped him up all cozy in a curvature of silk
    And then laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk
    Now she hurried home from workthat night as soon as she arrived
    She found that pretty snake she'd taking in had been revived
    "Take me in, oh tender woman
    Take me in, for heaven's sake
    Take me in oh tender woman," sighed the snake

    Now she clutched him to her bosom, "You're so beautiful," she cried
    "But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died"
    Now she stroked his pretty skin and then she kissed and held him tight
    But instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite
    "Take me in, oh tender woman
    Take me in, for heaven's sake
    Take me in oh tender woman," sighed the snake

    "I saved you," cried that woman
    "And you've bit me even, why?
    You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die"
    "Oh shut up, silly woman," said the reptile with a grin
    "You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in
    "Take me in, oh tender woman
    Take me in, for heaven's sake
    Take me in oh tender woman," sighed the snake. S
