And as far as Randi and his million dollar prize...I know a fella in Montreal(the One Dollar Psychic, you can google 'im) who claims he beat the challenge and guess what? Randi's apparently a bet welsher. who'da thunk it? And yes, I admit, that that's the height of hearsay as far as validity goes but then again how much different is to a giant hoopla about a million dollar challenge that nobody ever sees any result for.

Or the fact that they'll move the goal post in an argument, as Christopher Knowles always points out. Actually, I'm surprised that the Dawson and Randi supporters haven't come out in full force yet.<br /><br />What is a mind blower is their ability to dismiss / negate the perception or experience of someone who has witnessed anything unexplained.
