The fact that Randi has recently been editing the text of his newest book has probably influenced what he chooses to write about on his blog. That's what I sensed! And I can't wait for it - Monkey Man Wed, 21 Mar 2012 17:13:13 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1660-popoffs-still-at-it.html#comment-25025 Truly, after all Randi and others have done to expose this charletan, if people still want to believe in him and give him their worldly goods, all that remains for us to do is just sigh, shrug, and let Darwin filter them out of the gene pool for us. Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain - Asimov, in turn quoting someone else, I can't remember who. You really can't force people to think if they refuse to do so. - kdv Tue, 20 Mar 2012 20:46:43 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1660-popoffs-still-at-it.html#comment-25014 And of course 12 once you take the four suits into account for the face cards. Every year is a milestone year for a true believer. - Caller X Mon, 19 Mar 2012 23:36:36 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1660-popoffs-still-at-it.html#comment-25013 [quote]written by lytrigian, March 19, 2012 26 is half a pack of cards, a significant number for a magician. [/quote] Pareidolia much? By that logic 2, 4, 13 and 52 are milestone years. Also 3, the number of face cards. Over the last week Mr. Randi has published three articles that are rehashes of previous work [i]as if he doesn't remember the previous work[/i]. Tragic, really. If I saw a family member doing this I would at least sit down and have a talk about possible mental decline. - Caller X Mon, 19 Mar 2012 23:33:36 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1660-popoffs-still-at-it.html#comment-25012 26 is half a pack of cards, a significant number for a magician. - lytrigian Mon, 19 Mar 2012 15:00:28 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1660-popoffs-still-at-it.html#comment-25008 Some people say Popoff never broke kayfabe. More importantly, his comeback was reported in the Washington Post in 1998 and Randi did a TV piece on him in 2007. How is 26 years a milestone? 25 yes, but 26? - Caller X Sun, 18 Mar 2012 14:32:17 +0100
