Your hero seems to have quite the faith in himself. If you think thats a fake, look at the letter Randi mailed this guy... Thank you for your time

Peace

RE: Your hero Randi^ ^

If Randi pursued every ridiculous claim he received he would not find time to eat or sleep!

Commom sense must be applied in looking at submitted claims. Someone for example who claims to have lived for many years on water alone is obviously either a liar or mentally unstable.

And you think Randi should test this guy?

Anyone who thinks that must have a wire loose somewhere.

RE: Your hero Randi^ ^

Testing him would be simple... Find the alotted time a human can survive without food, and lock him in a cell for that long with nthing but water. Randi dosent supervise these either, he has staff for that... Again, do some research before spouting off...

RE: Your hero Randi^ ^

Yes, testing the idiot would be simple, but why bother?
This guy reckons he had gone 6 months surving on water alone.
If you think that there is even a hint of it having some truth to it then you have to be barking mad.
I dare say that if someone told you they could transmute lead into gold simply by pointing their little pinkie at it you would set up a test!
Get real.
Bye the way, I have a brand new genuiune solid gold Rolex watch worth £15,000 and I am prepared to let you have for only £1,000. Send me the money and I will send you the watch.
I rest my case.

RE: Your hero Randi^ ^

Why test him, good way to get out of it hmm? Ok, let's assume he is a fake. Why not test him and prove him wrong anyways? Does Randi have some secret he doesnt want to give out? Randi has lied in interviews and tooked information and blown it out of proportion before.
*I have no desire right now to look it up, but should you persuade I'll give you links and sources of everything I have just said*
I'm not saying this guy is real, I am saying Randi has no confidance and probably only accepts those who are certainly trying to fake him out as a means of making sure he's never beaten. I bet he wouldn't accept an application from an SRI member^ ^

Well, if this man perhaps went to a respecatble authority and demonstrated his ability to them, and recieved endorsement from them, mayhaps Randi would reconsider? I suppose for such extreme claims one has to climb the ladder one rung at a time. The wording of the letter is a little rediculous, though...

RE: Your hero Randi^ ^

Draco_Platina,
Your point is obviously correct.
The more outrageous the claim the more it needs to become established. Shouldn't be difficult to prove.
