Randi - You've Been Had! TS1234 Email to Randi

[Lothian]

And not once in the OP does TS1234 offer his theory as to what happened.

I think it is quite clear.

Objects that "disappear" are actually slid up the sleeve, or under the false bottom. No laws of physics are violated, but clever illusionists create the impression that they are…..

To believe that a building (or anything else), has the ability to crush and obliterate itself under its own weight, ……

But what happens to that 30 story …. Where does it go? ...

two 110 story buildings almost totally disappeared.....

When you pick out the pertinent paras the explanation is quite clear. There is only one way towers can collapse with such a huge loss of matter. I bet you are kicking yourself now for not spotting it. But for those that miss the point. The ‘matter’ was not there in the first place.

Prior to 9/11 the whole stunt was set up. Most of the twin towers were dismantled prior to 9/11.

Under the auspices of painting the towers the magicians covered the buildings in paper mache then the building inside was removed so you were looking at two hollow shells. That is with the exception of the top few floors which were left intact. Everyone know how strong a tube of paper is when you try to crush it lengthways. It can easily hold up the top 20 or so floors. You then fly a plane into the side of the paper mache tower. Again, people will know how weak a tube is on the side. That then weakened the tube enough. The weight of the top floors then took over and they fell taking the paper mache towers with them. The firemen then sprayed the building with water which dissolves the paper mache leaving an impossibly small residue from 110 story buildings. Easy.


edited to add.

I have made a model of this with a marble and a paper tube and it worked fine.

Easy.

So it was all a David Copperfield trick?
Awesome.

To James "Amazing Randi" Randi

Dear Mr. Randi,

It is with great disappointment that I see you embracing paranormal explanations for real-world events. Specifically I refer to the twin tower "collapses" of 9/11, in which two 110-story skyscrapers are alleged to have disintegrated under their own weight.

Are you aware of Mr. Randi making a statement about the cause of the tower collapses?

Does anyone understand the intention of this open letter?

Randi did 45 Posts in here since 11th April 2001. Why and how should he read or even see this???

That's not the point of either sending the email, or opening this thread.

The point is to get attention.

"Look, I'm saying something, and a lot of people - some of them famous - are paying attention to me!"

They feel special when people merely talk to them. What a sad life to lead.

I believe BS1234 actually emailed that letter to Randi.

Does this mean he probably will not see it because he don´t watch the board very often?

OH GOD ... and he started a thread anyway.

From the "Blown to Kingdom Come" Thread

Been lurking way too much. I've read hundreds of messages in the past months and have noticed something.

TS1234s arguments seem similar to the ones used by IDers, i.e. if it looks LIKE a CD then it IS a CD. If it looks like it was designed then it was designed. hmmm.

May seem off-topic and apologize but, TS1234, are You a creationist/IDer?

Total science buff here. I accept evolution as having overwhelming evidence to support it. Indeed, spontaneously self-organizing systems can appear designed to the casual observer, but actually, it is the exceedingly complex systems, such as biology, which cannot have been designed "top-down", but only spontaneous order can explain them. For the most part, ID's fail to appreciate the anthropic principle, or natural selection, or the time-scales involved.

I don't believe astrology, talking to the dead, or any so-called paranormal powers. I am a skeptic in the tradition of the Amazing Randi. Randi became famous as a magician who explained how his tricks did not violate physics.

9/11 was a trick.

You, sir, have come to the absolute best place in the universe to prove that contention! Just email Randi, explain your position about 9/11, and post his reply here.

That is my challenge to you. Agreed? If not, why?

Note that Gravy didn't say "start a new thread that will confuse anybody not reading this thread".

 

[CFLarsen]

Randi most likely won't see it here. TS wants people to know - and talk about - that he has sent an email to someone famous.

Hence my comment on attention.

Rather pathetic, hm?

 

[twinstead]

I hope Randi does read the letter and the thread. He's had it tough the last couple years and could probably use a laugh.

 

[The_Fire]

IF he indeed send that email.......Well, I know where MY bet is and it's not with BSSprouter 1234........


Anyone seen the popcorn?

I counted about 30 errors in that first post, although some of them could be argued to be duplicates. Anyone else want to take a shot at counting them?

Not counting spelling errors, I trust?

Sorry, that would require me to actually give a flying flip about what he posts.

Check it backwards...

 

[Hutch]

Having met Mr. Randi in person (as has CF Larsen), he is aware of what goes on at the Forums in a general way, but only posts on major topics or to give his view on how the board should be operating. The man does not have the time to spend hours here like we do.

That said, I am sure he is aware of the Conspiracy sub-forum and the 9-11 discussions here. As mentioned above, Mr. Randi is not an engineer or a demolitions expert, but I imagine he knows a few to ask questions of.

Considering that his right-hand lady (Linda) just had an emergency appendectomy and he is about 10 months recovered from heart surgery, I would not expect a quick reply to TS missive. Which he will undoubltedly use
as "evidence".

One last thing; Mr. Randi can be among the funniest and most charming people you can ever meet; but he does not suffer fools gladly. If TS gets his answer, he probably will not enjoy it.

 

[CFLarsen]

.....nope.
