>>>As an afterthought, if you seriously believe that you can do what you say then why not become a millionaire? It's oh so easy: http://www.randi.org/library/dowsing/index.html<<<

I've wondered for a long time why no-one's even tried to claim the Randi Millions, or at least if they have, why it hasn't been publicised. A bit of surfing turned this info up.

As always, the truth of the matter is never easy to determine, but I for one am not convinced that Randi's offer is exactly what it says on the tin.

Randi won't let a homeopath take the challenge
http://www.marius.net/victims.htm

" After four months of bickering with Randi and other skeptics, notably this man who goes by the name of Happy Dog, who appears to us to speak for JREF, what we've discovered in response to our application and the analysis of reports by others who have applied, is what seems to us to be a process of defamation of the applicant, evasiveness, and omission of necessary information by JREF, information we think is required to do a reasonable test of a claim.
We don't feel our claim has been taken seriously or within a legal context. It doesn't appear to us to be a scientific inquiry, but rather a publicity stunt designed to inure Dr. Randi through the questionable use of a tax exempt educational mission.
………………
………….And so the question we're posing here is, is the Psychic Challenge being administered within the context of the inferred mission of an educational foundation? Or are people being systematically victimized by this constructed public "offer" for the purpose of furthering a career and avoiding taxes?"
