\u27a2<\/span> The Center for Inquiry Los Angeles has been running a\u00a0<\/span>contest<\/b><\/a>\u00a0for a few years called the Paranormal Challenge, and the rules are simple:\u00a0 If you can prove you have a super power, you’ll win $250,000.<\/span><\/p>\n

They say they’ve had tons of people from all over the world apply saying they have an ability that can’t be explained by science . . . but so far, no one’s been able to prove their ability.<\/span><\/p>\n

There’s a\u00a0<\/span>running list<\/b><\/a>\u00a0online of the people who’ve attempted the challenge.\u00a0 Some recent ones were a telepath who said he could project images into people’s heads . . . and a man who said he could make a top spin in strange ways on a table.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a2<\/span> Tuesday night\u2019s game was the first time fans had been allowed back into their when they hosted the Philadelphia Flyers. Mask mandates and limited capacity efforts have been put in place.<\/span><\/p>\n

But it was a post on Twitter following the game that has social media up in arms.<\/span><\/p>\n

The team posted a photo of fans in the stands saying, \u201cThanks for the continued support Penguins fans. We can\u2019t wait to see you tomorrow night.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t take long for social media sleuths to discover that the photo the Penguins posted may have been manipulated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the original Getty Images photo, one of the fans wasn\u2019t wearing a mask, and others weren\u2019t wearing them correctly. The version that the Penguins posted on Twitter showed fans all wearing masks properly. The Penguins issued a statement saying that it shouldn\u2019t have happened and the staffer has been disciplined.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
