UPDATE: James Randi will be venturing with us!

Join us on this, our fifth adventure on the high seas, as we commandeer an Italian liner for our own nefarious purposes, and search for plunder on the shores of The Turks & Caicos, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands of St. Thomas and St. John.

From March 6-14, 2010, No prisoners will be taken, but men and women of free spirit and inquiry may apply for a letter of marque starting at a mere $750 per able seaman.

Our voyage will begin at the hide-out of that notable buccaneer, James Randi, where plans will be drawn and camaraderie will be had. Rum and victuals to be provided.

Have ye the courage to come aboard? Be ye warned... this voyage will take us once again through the clutches of the Bermuda Triangle, whereupon our last voyage we landed with one crew member fewer than when we departed...

Registration is open, but bookings close November 25, 2009. Click here to learn more!

NASA is prospecting for water-ice on the moon. On October 9, it shot a space probe into a crater at 9,000 miles per hour. The impact kicked up a mile-high plume of dust, which was photographed for clues. NASA hopes it gleaned enough data from this one-off Old Faithful to tell if there's water-ice in the moon's pock marks and poles -- as has long been suspected, and not only by NASA. "We are blown away by the data returned," said Tony Colaprete, the mission's top scientist. If NASA's moon bombing turns up water-ice, another acronymic organization beginning in N will stand belatedly vindicated. Kind of. The existence of lunar ice was, after all, the keystone of the NAZI cosmogony.

Randi Speaks: Questioning the Bible PDF Print E-mail
James Randi Speaks

There are many claims in the Bible, and James Randi casts a critical eye on the "facts" therein. It seems that the archeological record and the Biblical record are somewhat at odds, and despite protests from religious "scholars," the evidence points to the idea that Nazareth, for example, did not exist as portrayed.

Years ago, I won a prize in a limerick contest sponsored by Isaac Asimov's magazine. The verse had to incorporate the name of a celestial constellation and deal with the future. I submitted two. This one won me the prize:

An angry young student from Reticulum,
Annoyed at their crazy curriculum,
Said, "They teach biorhythms, Ψ,
And a rational .
I hear Asimov's set to ridicule 'em."

(In case your Greek is a bit rusty, those letters are "psi" and "pi.")
