Does anyone remember the famous debunker James Randi? He has dedicated his life to investigating fantastic claims from psychics and faith healers, especially Uri Geller and Peter Popoff. He's back in the news because Uri Geller filed a complaint to have this clip removed from the YouTube website. It's back up and you can see it here...

Of course, James Randi also has a website... who doesn't have a website these days? It's worth browsing if you have the time...

I have always admired James Randi for having the courage to expose people who prey on the most vulnerable members of our society. His skeptical approach is both amusing and refreshing.
