NICOLE SPIESE & the New Challenge Rules

I would very much like to know from her what the paranormal explanation for the placebo effect is. And how come we don't have black helicopters buzzing under our windows yet, for that matter.
 
KRAMER has a great sense of humour. I was laughing all the way to this reply.
I almost feel like putting in a challenge application myself. Follow all the rules. State that I have read the FAQ. Enclose three statements from three people saying they have seen what I have done and there is no simple explanation for it. Should scare KRAMER. Then pass the prilim. Should not be too hard to do. Not yet worked out how to pass the final exam yet.
 
2. <snip> I have already found one person on the internet and it turns out we are both saxophone players and of the same religion.

Wow, that's just, like, so amazing!
 
From Kramer's response: "The JREF Paranormal Challenge is not a hoax. Nor is it a contest, as you are not competing against anyone. Unless of course you consider yourself to be in direct competition with The Truth."

Absolute genius!
 
Just read her response.

Sheldon Adelson is the CEO of the Sands company, which owns several casinos in Vegas.

Me thinks Nicole is a hoax or a 51 card deck.
 
Hey, anybody who can quote the very short-lived "Father of the Pride" is OK in my book.

But, how much is $1,000,00 anyway?
 
Well, if anyone had any doubts about Kramer's style, his final rejection should put that to complete rest. :D
 
I don't know if this has been asked before... but does James Randi or JREF have a legal case against those that publicly claim the challenge is fraudulent? That's a pretty serious accusation.
 
Sheesh - Go away for a few hours and you miss all the fun. Well, at least we now know the difference between a FORECAST and a PREDICTION.
 
There is a real person named Nicole Spiese who, according to an internet site, has studied the subjects the applicant claims to have studied at the college where the applicant claims to have studied.

Maybe Nicole is a loonie bird. Or maybe she's had her identity hijacked to be used in this hoax. Surely, the whole application is a hoax and it reeks of the "Angela" hoax of a month or so ago.

KRAMER, if there's anyway to check that out, it might be the decent thing to do.

You're thinking of "Brave New World" by Huxley. I don't remember people being drugging in "1984" but it's been a long time since I read it.

The only drugs I remember in 1984 (I've read it several times) are cheap booze and cigrettes.

From the application thread:

I look forward to collecting my $1,000,000 but of course that pales in comparison to the money I will be making off the stock market or the $11.4 billion my cousin Sheldon Adelson is worth.

So she knows what she is talking about because her cousin is wealthy?
So is this an "Argumentum ad crumenam" or an "appeal to authority"?

WRT her reply posted today, it occurs to me just how much time could be saved (both in JREF and the world at large) if our educational system could impart the following to every person:

1. The great benefit of reading and understanding directions BEFORE taking action.
2. The meaning of the term "rational discussion".
 
Every so often, I suffer a crisis of low self-esteem. I become convinced that I won't make it through UCLA, much less grad school so why am I bothering. Then I think about if I really want to live the life I had been, and think about my grades and I pick myself back up.

Now, I can also think about Ms. Spiese when I have those moments. Thanks!:cool:
 
She's "really smart", but can't spell "nonsensical"...
I delight in making charlatans like you look like fool just as harry Houdini did to the nonsensicle people of his time.
