It never rains, eh?
Ever heard of David Mabus? No, neither had I. That was until I (and who knows how many others) received a completely out-of-the-blue email from this person (admittedly sent to Planet Humanism rather than directly to me). I really don’t need to add anything, so I’ll just post it here in all it’s glory and let it speak for itself.
From: David Mabus

Subject: How Michel Nostradamus stopped the Randi-Dawkins Corp. [What? -ed]Just in case you folks come up with the same idea……
Visit:
http://www.centerforinquiry.net/forums/viewthread/3283/P0/
to see how we stopped James Randi’s fraudulent MILLION DOLLAR PARANORMAL challenge…..
watch carefully the consequences of Randi’s *great idea*…..
For over 40 years James Randi Zwinge (is this even a REAL NAME?) has had total control over who and how the testing was conducted, yet despite all this he has terminated the challenge.
The ONLY REASON why the challenge was stopped is because he lost and refused to pay.
Apparently, Randi likes to break the rules when it serves him:
http://www.randi.org/joom/content/view/40/32/
“14. This prize will continue to be offered until it is awarded. Upon the death of James Randi, the administration of the prize will pass into other hands, and it is intended that it continue in force. ”
Great force…..it’s over……
where is my MILLION DOLLARS, you LITTLE *NO-NAME* FRAUD
The number of people and organisations that this was sent to lends me a little chuckle in that Mr Mabus (is that even a real name? ;-)) has taken the time to parade his idiocy for so many to see.
It’s a shame that Michel didn’t predict the challenge ending, and then Mabus wouldn’t have had to waste his, and the JREF’s, time in applying.
I guess you can’t win ‘em all.
