The Smug Baldy Speaks

Over on StupidEvilBastard recently, someone (not naming names) forgot “That guy with the million dollar challenge” for psychics. That guy, if you don’t know, is the esteemed James Randi, of the James Randi Educational Foundation (or JREF). Mr. Randi has been debunking kooks and frauds for years, and the JREF recently announced that it was closing the Million Dollar Challenge in 2010. Today, the JREF opened the Challenge to “all interested parties” with a new Million Dollar Challenge E-mail Blog. I have seen some of the previous challengers - but I have never seen some of the raw claims that any of them have made. Let me tell you what - there are some freaky freaky weirdos out there. Here’s an excerpt from one such wingnut referred to as “Michael, The Universe Builder”:

As a scientist my life evolution works like this:
1st step- save the culture I live in
2nd step- observe all of the possibilities
3rd step- plan out the most effective re-arrival
4th step- lead one of the 5 super-civilizations
5th step- attempt to destroy the entire universe

You need to understand the universe was BUILT BY ME so that YOU ALL WOULD SEE HOW RETARDED YOU WERE IN TRYING TO PROCLAIM YOU’D FIGURED IT ALL OUT AS A BUNCH OF LITTLE RETARD HUMANS!

Michael then goes on to explain why animals and bacteria are “WAY more intelligent than people.”

In reading his claims, I am reminded of the word-salad that accompanies some types of schizophrenia.

Will Michael build universes and walk away with the Million dollars, or will Michael walk away with a decent prescription? What is your tingling Spidy Sense telling you?
