This note is to comply with the application requirement "a description of what will constitute the demonstration". It is also a notice of your pending comeuppance, Dr. Randi.
No theories, no explanations, no arguments, I am going to kick Dr. Randi's intellectual butt and watch him squirm and weasel as he reneged on his boisterous challenge.
Simply stated: Under conditions previously agreed to by both parties, the JREF and myself, I can "dowse/witch/divine" (locate) a 4" pipe that has been buried underground in a manner that neither party has yet agreed upon. The tools to be used in the demonstration shall be two modified coat hangers, used in the classic "dowsing" sense, and a spade to expose both the pipe and Dr. Randi.
The demonstration shall be deemed "constituted" when a perpendicular trench, no more than 3 feet long, and sufficiently deep, exposes the buried pipe to any observer.
Success or failure shall be determined by answering a simple, two-part question. "Did the demonstrator find the pipe, or didn't he not find it?"
NO ifs, NO ANDS, NO BUTs, NO ARGUMENTS, NO BULLS***, NO EXCUSES Dr. Randi AND NO RENEGING.
Foolish is demonstrated by the fact that Dewey is submitting this application with the full knowledge that he is dealing with a sickie who is hell bent on proving that there is nothing under the sun that he, the psychotic know-it-all, does not know about and fully understand.
Randi; heads up, or should I say Butts Up. You've got a very unscientific ass-kicking coming. I'm shinning up my coat hanger butt-kickers just as soon as I mail this application. I can't wait to see what technicality you come up with to avoid paying up. This is going to be the easiest money I ever earned, even though I know you are not going to pay.
