Good point DB. Of course, one of my favorite lines from Randi concerns those who claim that their powers won’t work under observation or in the presence of skeptics.

“The ability to detect the presence of observers or skeptics is itself a valid claim.“

Damn, I can point out skeptics all over the place here.  I guess thats why my psychic powers don’t seem to work when anyone else is around.  I guess I’ll retire to my room where I can sit in the dark and manifest $1000 bills. *insert deranged laughter*

Hey, who’s sceptical?

I find that if I drink a beer or two (to stimulate physical relaxation) and lie down in a darkened room to meditate, I can make a simulacrum of Jessica Alba appear, one that obeys my every mental command. I know this is happening because when I wake up come out of my trance, there’s ectoplasm all over the sheets!

You sure that’s not just some kid tossing that fake slime stuff thru the window?  Can I borrow your dream??

um…..“sept” means “seven” in french, not september. “Neuf” is nine. “Septembre” is September.

Just saying. :roll

Every Primary 4 pupil can tell you that.

Must be some pretty thick conspiracy theorists to mistranslate FRENCH. I’ll make allowances for cocked-up Aramaic or Ancient Hebrew or a similar language. Not French.

Actually, to be fair, it’s old French, and an obscure version of it even for the times…. but yeah.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that the above video does not actually address any of the points we raised, but instead simply repeats the themes that Davidmabus went over before. . .

Bye! Take care! Don’t trip on your way out! Get professional help! Toodles!

That has NOTHING to do with Randi, the paranormal or anything else.

It’s not even about atheism. It’s a f***ing cat shooting what appears to be Richard Dawkins. A really shit, blurry video that I’m sure will lead to me getting killed in 7 days by Dawkins crawling out the laptop to get me.

Right, Mabus, what precisely is it you CAN do that apparently made Randi lose his bottle?

Because if you can convince me you have genuine paranormal powers I’LL give you £1 million. Seriously. I’ll assume Randi’s mantle.

Of course it’s my money, comprising most of the family estate, so I reserve the rights to dictate the rules. Game on, bitch.
