Skeptic Revamps $1M Psychic Prize

sorry to nick the title from this excellent wired mag article but i couldnt think of any other title..

this is brilliant – i wonder why i’ve never heard of this guy before? the premis (if you cant be arsed to click the link) :

Ten years after stage magician and avowed skeptic James Randi first offered a seven-figure payday to anyone capable of demonstrating paranormal phenomenon under scientific scrutiny, the 79-year-old clear-eyed curmudgeon is revising the rules of his nonprofit foundation’s Million Dollar Challenge to better target high-profile charlatans, and spend less time on unknown psychics, who too often turn out to be delusional instead of deceptive.

if i had paranormal powers then i’d be teleporting to him yesterday, either that or looking into the future to see who won and then back to the bookies to place a large bet

which is what you would do if you were psychic anyway surely ?

i happen to think there is something to be said for, shall we say, weird shit, but i absolutely loath the ppl who blatently use so called “gifts” to basically con people out of money – let em hang… ;)

    Personally, I think all this psychic powers stuff is plain baloney.

    Many psychics are more concerned with assisting people with problems rather than merely money…whatever you may think.
