Happy birthday to Randi!

And I see you’re in SMBC again Phil. You might want to get those brain worms checked out.

Doh! I am one day late… Sorry! Happy birthday, Randi! (I’m moving house, does that count as an excuse?)

Have to keep em honest! Randi has done a good job of it for a long time now, providing a lot of fun to boot for us all, excepting for the charlatans

Happy birthday once again Jimmy — the great one! and many more.

I saw him perform once many years ago, at a short-lived Northern Virginia restaurant called Foodini that I think he co-owned.

What a genuinely nice person! I have enjoyed watching him on TV for years. And, getting to meet him briefly at TAM 9 – if my theist friends are right – I will have simply wonderful company in hell. Happy birthday!

Happy birthday, Randi! And many hugs to you!

@Steve: the item quoted is from the forward of James Randi’s book “The Faith Healers” (of which I own a signed copy… smirk…. )

Here’s to The Amazing Randi for completing yet another orbit of the sun with the rest of us on the Earth!

Indeed, too many people in power ignore Randi’s wisdom at their peril.

Funnier yet if it showed Randi pointing out the wires hoisting the X-wing up…

I’d be hoisting a brandy to Randi too except,,,I don’t know anyone named Brandi(Ba dum bum).

I’d like to say I’m catching up to you, (68 next month) Randi, but every time I get to where you are,,,you’ve moved on. Hopefully, you’ll never stand still,,,

“X-Wing to show it hovering in the air, then re-caption it to “Do, or do not. There is no try.””

It would be even funnier if the shot showed Randi hovering,,,

Sadly, on Randi’s birthday, my own local newspaper parades its ignorance via a headline on an astronomy article:

http://www.coloradoan.com/article/20110807/COLUMNISTS04/108070309/Technology-removes-astrological-limits

*Astrological* limits? Sheesh. The article itself is about the improvement in scientific instrumentation and the impact it has had on astronomy, and I’m sure the author is as horrified as the rest of us at the editorial license taken here.
