It is a pity he is not on his way to South Africa instead. NY is unfortunately a 18+ hour flight (and more money than I have) away. Any chance of putting up the link to the audio/video of the talk if/when available Phil?

[...] James “The Amazing” Randi is giving a talk in NYC – I will definitely be there with bells on (I haven’t decided whether these are to be literal or figurative bells yet). If you can come, this is not to be missed. There’s a reason they call him “The Amazing.” Oh, and it’s FREE. [...]

Pedant, pendant or pederast. I know enough that it can be really awkward if you get them confused.

buffalodavid. That James Randi is appearing in New York City. Unless of course we couldn’t spell RandY Coincidentally, Randi is on CH5 UK TV tomorrow testing a ‘baby mind reader’ for the million. However, I won’t bother watching it as I have seen this clown before and to say that he was an embarrassment is an understatement, even with a totally non sceptical host who let him make a string of excuses for total failure.

Don’t worry, Shane, I’ll never accuse you of pedanticness

…

Because the word is “pedantry”, dammit.

Yes, the audio will be available – and hopefully video as well (although the format is yet to be determined).

@ shane

That’s what happens when you try to post things too soon.

Of course I left out the “?” at the end of Phil, “a lot” or “loads of” or am I missing something else?

I don’t think I’ve ever managed to make a correction without making a blue, ever. Damn.

Phil said “that he’ll be lot of fun”

Phil, “a lot” or “loads of” or am I missing something else. It would be amusing if it meant that he was turning people into pillars of salt.

Weeee, I get to be pedant for a change.
