RIP James Randi
August 7, 1928 – October 20, 2020
A fierce defender of reality and foe of all woo.

And Proteus brought the upright beast into the garden and chained him to a tree and the children did make sport of him.

If he comes back to haunt Uri Gellar, does Gellar get the million bucks?
I'm sorry Dave...

He came to campus when I was in college. We got him to do a few sounders for the radio station. He influenced me to become a skeptic. RIP.

I don't think I really know this man, but I found a good quote

“No amount of belief makes something a fact.” ― James Randi

As a longtime fan of Randi and the Skeptics Society, etc. I'm a bit ashamed to admit that I thought it died a few years ago. But I think I'm confusing that with when he finally came out of the closet.

Either way, RIP.
