Dveil's advocate: Perhaps JRK was stuck in the interview after having
a lot of fluids herself and was just teasing...

Reminds me of the news stories about tiny, elderly mothers lifting
cars off of their mechanically inclined children when the jacks
collapse. There seems to be a direct connection between intention and
strength for magic to happen in the WW. Will power, control and mind
over matter "with emotional content... like a finger pointing away to
the moon." Thank you, Bruce Lee. Seriously, think of the Shaolin monks
training for special abilities. They spend hours focused on
controlling and creating a specific response which winds up looking
supernatural.
