Dargo, don't you HAVE a signed affidavit?

If Dargo is, indeed, making plans with Australian Skeptics to be tested, we should lay off him and wait for a result. I'm sure it will be reported here, with the number of participants we have from down under.
 
To self test such a claim is ridiculously easy.

One person walks into a large public library and looks down the aisles. When he finds the first aisle that has a person in it looking for a book the test subject enters that aisle moves to the center of the aisle, and the center of the shelf and blindly selects a book. This person then reads only the first 25 nouns, excepting any repeats and the other subject some sufficiently large distance away then writes down the nouns in question.

If no one is in any aisle the first subject remains until someone does move into an aisle.
 
Dargo, have you considered Dumb All Over's and chrans proposition and sent a scan of your affidavit?
If not, would you care to explain why, please?

I don't understand what you are trying to say here. What is this supposed to test? Why is the second person necessary?
 
The test is the preliminary for the skeptics $100,000 challenge in 2 months. The second person is necessary since she is the only person so far known that I'm able to telepathically talk to.
 
Myself, Matt and my friend, Sharee have officially named our ability "Sharmathy".
 
Oh we definitely wont be failing. And we changed our mind, we prefer "Shamathy".
 
Why would you need to call it "shamathy" when there is already a perfectly good word for telepathy?
 
Dargo, before when you telepathically talked to your freind, how did you verify that the conversational thoughts you heard came from your freind instead of yourself?
 
Is Dargo going to show up to the institute alone talking to himself, introducing the lack of anything tangible to a bunch of distinguished professors? =D

"What!? Stop checking out that girl Al!"

(Kudos to anyone who gets it.)
 
So you really think the best name for your ability is one that stats with the word "sham" ??

ok...

Dargo also seems to think ignoring questions will help his credibility.

It has worked well for his predecessors, hasn't it?
 
We're not looking for immediate credibility. As soon as the testing is complete, our credibility will be evident.
