Book Test: Max & Any Others Interested

I insist that Gullible Ian should be set on fire.

Because I am Unfrozen Caveman Websurfer, and his strange declarations confuse and frighten me. Ook ook.

Spectacular confirmation of psi missing from a vehement skeptic! What more proof is required??

Just to confirm this was of course a joke in case anyone had any doubts.
 
A lot of posts since this morning...

Just wanted to voice support for Ed's "pool of 10 books" idea. I thought about suggesting something like that earlier - not sure why I didn't.

On the subject of Luke's one time pad and spoofing, that was one reason I suggested an MD5 checksum. It's simpler to generate and easier to check than something PGP encoded (no keys involved), and shouldn't be (reasonably) spoofable. The true title should be wrapped in some lorem ipsum (randomly generated but legible text) to stop anyone checking random book names against the checksum:

Etiam tristique malesuada enim. Fusce ultrices, purus nec fringilla ultrices, nunc ante auctor tortor, sit amet fermentum neque nulla nec orci.

Curious George Goes To The Beach

Nunc lorem pede, facilisis eu, rutrum vitae, egestas eu, wisi. Morbi ultricies risus eu leo. Vestibulum ante ipsum primis in faucibus orci luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia Curae; Suspendisse orci. Aenean ac est vitae elit sollicitudin egestas. In auctor convallis sem. Proin tristique rhoncus ligula. Cras hendrerit urna et velit. Integer rhoncus. Etiam vel risus.

I should point out that I don't know too much about MD5 so there may be some good objections to it.

[modu]This post has been reported.

While it skirts the boundry of good taste, it does not violate forum rules. I would recommend that those who take offense to Toastrider, ignore him.

Toastrider, I recommend that you try to be a little more civil and aim for making more productive posts.[/modu]
 
The book is

Curious George Goes to the Beach.

Am I close?:D

Oh well, if skeptics and non-skeptics can't agree on even this, we might as well shelf the idea.

I insist a non-skeptic should select a book and another skeptic should attempt to "guess" it. And also should be a fiction book.

Nonsense again. Any book, any language.

What about the rule forbidding people not to be a jerk??

Forbidding them not to be a jerk? Uh oh. Say goodbye to Mercutio, Luke T, Clancie and a whole host of others. Fortunately, Ian and I can stay. :p

It's one post, Ian. It hardly shows a pattern of behavior. Besides, I asked him to be more civil. What more do you want?

Why not post 10 book pictures and have all of the rv'ers out there pick the right one?

Well, for starters, Ed, because we haven't -got- any RV'ers... :(

Even Max, who describes what I think of as a going through a "psychic/intuitive process"....concentrating...getting "something"...trying to make sense of it...doesn't claim to be a psychic or clairvoyant.

(Also, Cleopatra, don't you want to play along, too? Remember my theory! :) )

We don't? How do you know that? You are not a Remote Viewer yourself, are you? Perhaps a psychic?

I think it would be best if we let people decide for themselves what abilities they claim to have. If we start judging people before they are even tested, we are not being skeptical at all, but merely prejudicial.

Of course I want to but I don't know how. How can I do something I do not believe that it works? Unless you want me to do Garette a tarot reading and then make a guess ;)

Clancie has got me well sussed out. She is correct in what she has said about me. She refers to the last book I tried to identify not a future one.......keep up

Actually, if you were really willing to do it, I'd say, "Of course!" :)
 
CFLarsen said:


Huh? What does "sussed out" mean?

Generally "to suss" is slang for "I've worked that out", the "out" appears to be optional.

e.g. "I've sussed [out] how to use my new gadget".
