James Randi on QR77 Tonight

[photon]

Sometime after 8 I think he's going to be on with Rob Breakenridge talking about Sylvia Browne, and probably talk about the changes to his $1 Million Challenge.

He was on CNN the other night as well. The Challenge's new strategy seems to be in full swing.

Awesome, thanks for the heads up! This guy is great.

[photon]

He's on now.

The Stern guys got a hold of the "drowned" WTC Firefighter clip and have been ripping apart Sylvia Brown for the past week. Hilarious stuff.

So this is the guy who put up the cash for her to prove her abilities which she accpeted but still hasn't gone ahead with it years later?

Awesome!!

That guy is amazing. Love his work.

Yup, she comitted to it on national TV and Larry King said he'd follow it up. Then she said she didn't know how to contact Randi, and eventually came up with the excuse that he's not a godly man so she won't have anything to do with him.

Which makes even less sense.. communicating with the dead goes against scripture, so she's not godly either. Plus isn't the wealth of the wicked laid up for the righteous? So she should be taking the money from him and giving it to starving children or something.

The money isn't specifically for her, it's a general prize for anyone who makes a claim that they can do something paranormal, creates a test for it, and then meets their own test.

Yeah he has one million up for grabs for anyone who can prove they have supernatural or paranormal abilities. It started back in the 1980's with ten thousand dollars and it's been growing ever since. So far no one has come close. James Randi. She has been avoiding the challenge for 6 years now.

QR77? The same station that carries Coast to Coast AM late-night?

Yes, unfortunately, this is my only real qualm with QR77 as a News talk station, is that they actually carry this rubbish.
