The Truth about the Supernatural.
James "The Amazing" Randi makes his debunking of "supernatural" hoaxes available to all users of the InterNets.
When I decided to place the entire text of "An Encyclopedia of Claims, Frauds, and Hoaxes of the Occult and Supernatural" on the Internet, it was suggested to me that this could cut into the sales of the printed version. However, experience has shown that, in the publishing business, making a book available on the Internet only stimulates sales of the actual book! Another mystery.He says there's a joke in the "succubus" entry, but I couldn't find it. (Just kidding, Randi.)

I like to think I have an open mind and I frequently believe in stuff that's "out there". Perhaps it's in the hope that the Universe is more interesting than it probably actually is. But, all apologies to "The Amazing Randi" but I have met an honest-to-God psychic (or perhaps an honest-to-Bhudda psychic, as he was Indian) and saw him do some amazing stuff on my Radio show. In fact, this guy called the end of the Gulf War TO THE DAY on my show about 2 months in advance.
If that guy's really a psychic, he can end the debate and apply for Randi's (cue Dr. Evil) one million dollar prize to anyone who can prove their supernatural ability.
If he can show that he is statistically more likely to make accurate predictions than a control, it's all his.
