This is the surprising thing:
Nobody has ever seen a UFO.
Nobody has seen a ghost.
Nobody has seen a miracle.
Nobody can do anything paranormal.
Nobody can bend spoons with their mind.
And nobody has ever had a prayer answered.

There is a million dollars waiting for someone who can
disprove the above...it remains unclaimed after many years.

Nobody has ever seen a UFO. Plenty of folk have seen UFOs.  Whether or not these objects carry sentient life from outer space is highly unlikely, of course, but they're still UFOs nonetheless.

Nobody has seen a ghost. Certainly no proof, I agree.

Nobody has seen a miracle. As the word has several definitions, I suppose this rests on what one considers a miracle.  Whilst attributing an extraordinary consequence to some sort of devine agency is purely subjective, I would contend that the inexplicable reactions achieved within the science of quantum entanglement are miraculous by anyone's measure.  Even Einstein called it spooky.

Nobody can do anything paranormal. Again, much of quantum entanglement physics would fall under the umbrella of the paranormal.  If you're talking about telekinesis, clairvoyance etc, I'd have to agree that there is no concrete proof whatsoever.

Nobody can bend spoons with their mind. I agree.

Thats correct, now if there is any evidence they can also claim their million...
Its been there for 30 or 40 years.

From where do we claim the millions?
Report PokerDane • August 6, 2014 6:48 PM BST
From the magician, James Randi.
Report lfc1971 • August 6, 2014 6:52 PM BST
Yes Pokerdane, although Randi died a few years ago I think the money can still
be claimed
Report lfc1971 • August 6, 2014 6:56 PM BST
He has not come back to try and claim it for himself.
Report PokerDane • August 6, 2014 6:57 PM BST
Oh dear, did he really?  I never realised he had died.
Report lfc1971 • August 6, 2014 7:01 PM BST
Yes I think maybe 10 years ago, he was a sceptic but always said he hoped someone
would prove him wrong.

One of my favourite actors, Telly Savalas, tells a good ghost story.  I met him once, he was a real character.

And an accomplished pool player.  I would have paid good money to play a frame or two with Telly but, alas, it was not to be.

Nice ghost story but somehow I can't believe Savalas would have tried to pay that money back, :-)
Report bix • August 6, 2014 7:43 PM BST
The terms and conditions imposed by Randi ensured that no-one would ever take the money.

James Randi is still alive, married his gay lover last year at the age of 84.

The conditions for claiming the prize are only tough scrutiny, no one has won the money because none can prove what they say is true.

So was Randi's death a hoax Confused The source is usually correct on everything Laugh

The conditions for claiming the prize are only tough scrutiny

If you wish to claim the prize first you must make an application. Randi imposes enough onerous terms for an application to kill many claims at this stage. He has the right to dismiss your application if he considers it "absurd", "impossible" "highly implausable" or you are delusional or mentally unstable and then can impose any conditions he thinks fit to reject you. If you get past the application stage which can take many months as he can keep asking for more and more paperwork to be submitted, he can then impose whatever terms and conditions he likes for you to prove your claim and change the requiremnts at any time. He can also make it very expensive and drawn out for the claim to proceed and can cancel proceedings at any  time if he claims you are being uncooperative or displaying what he calls negative behaviour.
You also have to sign away all your legal rights to take any action against him and your rights to use any media to tell the world of what happened during your application.

As Randi himself has said the money can never be claimed because he alway has an "out".

The Randi million dollar challenge is as big an illusion as some of the stuff he looks to expose and has made him millions of dollars on the back of it.

Chapeau.

This needs to be investigated. If I ever saw aliens I would expect a thorough probe.

One can only imagine Gleason's surprise when President Nixon showed up at his house around midnight, completely alone and driving his own private car.

An elaborate ploy of Nixon’s to try to sell a used car imo.

I've had plenty of inexplicable experiences. I have an interest in the paranormal and always have done. I'm not someone who screams 'ghost' at any moment, I look for any plausible explanations, and often there is. But there's things I've seen that I just cannot explain by any rational means.

My take on those who refuse to accept anything outside the norm is that I don't believe in Bolton Wanderers. Sure I know people that *claim* to have seen them. I've seen pictures supposedly of Bolton Wanderers, and I believe you can even see videos allegedly of them. But I've never seen them myself, so I think they're just figments of an overactive imagination.
