James Randi’s good fight against phony psychics and fake faith healers has been a great service to humanity.

A belated Happy Birthday to both the BigBadSis & Randi from me too.

BTW. Apparently it was Neil Armstrong’s 80th birthday the other day too – that was mentioned on Letterman a couple of nights ago. Wikipedia confirms saying August 5th was his birthdate. So Armstrong was born 80 years ago last week if not quite yesterday or day before.

Happy birthday Marci – BigBadSis is so what I would call myself if my baby brother ever decided to start a blog for me to comment at!
And happy “first birthday fully out of the closet” to James Randi.
I hope both of you have a great year ahead!

Your sister is a cat? Man, do we even *want* to know the story behind that?

I don’t know James Randi, but I did know your sister. I was in the St. Philips and James choir in Baltimore with her years and years ago. I can attest to her being cool and a fabulous singer to boot.

It’s also the birthday of Dr. David Gorski of sciencebasedmedicine.org fame, as well some unknown guy named “Orac”, a rather insolent blogger.

Nice, Larian. Anyone didn’t get it, sing it out loud.

Happy Birthday, Marci
Happy Birthday, James Randi

Happy birthday Marci and Randi!

Although I think Randi’s picture above looks like he is admonishing the photographer not to make a big deal about birthdays.

Thanks Phil! I consider myself pretty cool to be related to you.

No, I don’t know Marci. That’s too bad.

Well, happy birthday anyhow! (And to Randi, whom I know, but don’t actually know, if you know what I mean. (That would be clearer in some other languages, methinks.))

It’s also Dr. John Mather’s birthday.
