Dear All.

I am a great psychic, who has come to be known by some, as 'Doctor Woo'.

I would like to demonstrate my awesome powers to the so-called Randi $1 million challange (I did some remote viewing and all I saw were flashing lights in front of my eyes so this money does not exist! But anyway I wish to win to serve my spirit friends Uma and Thurman. They command me to go ahead with the claim anyway).

Now for the big 3 questions.

1- How do you propose to DEMONSTRATE your claim?

HOW DARE YOU ASK SUCH A PRESUMPTIOUS QUESTION! But, regardless, you have not yet witnessed my awesomeness, so I shall allow this rudeness to pass.

I propose to enfuse you with a feeling of 'being fleeced'.

2- Under what CONDITIONS?

HOW DARE YOU! Clearly you must know the conditions are in a bar, with a double (possibly triple) J.D. and coke in my hands.

3- With what degree of ACCURACY?

AGAIN! SUCH RUDENESS! But, to accomodate you I shall answer. You must give me $5000 in advance, and I then guarantee 100% accuracy.

Please respond shortly.

Oh and Kramer, I know your real name is Cramer. Your silly matrix inversion rule is absolutely rubbish for matrices of 4x4 or above. Gaussian elimination is far superior. So that is why you're at the JREF and not in a maths department somewhere eh?!

Best Regards you inferior beings,

Dr. Woo

I have corrected the post, my son. Dr. Woo made that mistake intentionally so a soul of caliber 9 or above would spot it and therefore be able to enter the afterlife. Thank me for my blessings son! Thank me!!

And by the way, wooooooooooooooooooo!

lol for God's sakes people! It was a joke!!

I guess JREF get so many crazy applications on here that my attempt at a phoney one isn't so obvious.. although my claim to induce a feeling of 'being fleeced' is pretty obvious non?

Surely 'Dr. Woo' was a clue?

Oh yeah, and the fact that I suggested the best conditions were with me holding a double j.d. in my hand... although if Randi wants to jet me over the the JREF and buy me a drink, I won't say no :-)

Anyway I'm new on here, Lorenzo from London. British, but with creatively naming parents.. doing a degree in civil engineering at imperial college, final year, hoping to go into graduate study afterwards then academia (fluid mechanics, particularly water wave mechanics).

Who are you and what are you up to?

*p.s. admin, if you need to move the topic no problemo*

So Jim, I take it you're a brit too? From london then? Are you a regular at these meetings? Guess I just missed the last one then.. I am revising for exams at the mo though, but maybe I could pop along to the next one or the one after, £2 doesn't seem too bad!!

Imperial College is in Lake Havasu, AZ? Perhaps you meant the Tower Bridge.
