MY GOD man !..
As much as I appreciated Randi's debunking work, and I do (no one is more thankful to him for exposing Uri Gellar and Peter Popoff than I!), he seems to have a cult around him that worships everything he does, and I think that is quite dangerous, especially for Randi's already over-inflated ego. As someone who approaches investigations of the paranormal skeptically but with allowance that my skepticism may be wrong, I find Randi all-too-ready to "debunk, debunk, debunk!" without ever acknowledging that he can be wrong. Mr. Randi is not the God in which he does not believe, and thus he must come to terms with his own fallibility.James Randi exposes Uri Geller and Peter Popoff
"James Randi is a leader in the skeptical community who has been debunking paranormal and supernatural claims for most of his life. A magician himself James Randi is excellent at exposing the frauds that make up the paranormal and psychic communities. He offers a one million prize to anyone who can prove a paranormal claim scientifically and to this day nobody has won the money. Sylvia Browne has been ducking him for quite some time!"
Geller's career somehow survived this. I don't think he and Randi have ever really been buddies though!
And as for that Ministry guy!
Very true, Doc, and so is this Kong locatin anecdote:I mean, some of these things must be true or real... Right?
You'll be fine - they played some of it one time on QI and everyone on the show seems to be in one piece, as am I.the urban legend
Best guess is that it is a fake--it looks just a little too 'perfect' somehow to be anything but--but I'm like you in that, if this hasn't been debunked as of yet I kind of hope it never is...I actually don't really want this one to have been explained as some idiot in a Halloween costume that got double exposed on the film somehow.
It's kinda cool staying as a spooky mystery.
But I am braced for disillusionment.
For all I know, this one was solved long ago....
But I hope it wasn't.
