If that were ture, how could the world go on? How could we ever get up off of our knees? How could we ever recover from the wonder of it? By forgetting. We cannot keep in mind too many things. There is only the present and nothing to remember" Don't know why, aside from the obvious snowflake connection... (but then I am a little drunk...) :) : ) Picture makes me think of a Jeanette Winterson quote:

By forgetting. We cannot keep in mind too many things.
There is only the present and nothing to remember”

Don’t know why, aside from the obvious snowflake connection… (but then I am a little drunk…) :) : )

But I might be getting warmer... The screen wobble was a nice touch. It put me off for a bit. Lets see….snow flakes are frozen, as other things can be. But I might be getting warmer…

That is just an explanation Derren likes to give to his audiences...he definitely is hiding something...but what..hmm? I knew there was something else behind all his calculations.

Has anyone ever take the time to photograph each and every flake that drops from the sky.... and then to analyse each and everyone!! Like in nature there are always copies.... for example Twins! I am not so sure that snowflakes are all unique.... as the saying goes..... one in million chances happen more often than you think! :) Em x A bit of thought randomness here… but how does anyone know that all snowflakes are totally unique!!

The christmas footage would pretty much prove the rigged machine method, which is why it wasn't aired I'm guessing (rigging the lottery is a probably a serious business) so I'm clinging on to the hope that it really does exist. Camera tricks don't really seem your style and rigging the lottery is a lot more badass. Still, whatever you did, you've got everyone thinking and thats what its all about.

Come to think of it I could see him as a taller, less green and better looking Yoda... "Hmmm stuck to the sofa will you be!" or maybe this is more his style... http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vEyVLR5ctOc/R1TwlgZcp8I/AAAAAAAAAKU/auIR9TmuQcg/s400/The%2BCount.jpg SGC – which Jim Henson puppet would Derren be?
