What are your favourites? (these have to be observable, everyday things, not things that can be explained away like OBE, etc.)
Why it is, in this day and age, people can get a stack of papers from the most prestigeous institutes of learning, and yet still speak no better than a cave man, asserting that the inannimate is the animate. The dreaded beast call Anthropomorphism stalks mankind, and kills by the billions and billions.
