James Randi Posts $1M Award On Speaker Cables

elrond amandil writes "James Randi offered US$ 1 million to anyone who can prove that a pair of $7,250 Pear Anjou speaker cables is any better than ordinary (and also overpriced) Monster Cables. Pointing out the absurd review by audiophile Dave Clark, who called the cables 'danceable,' Randi called it 'hilarious and preposterous.' He added that if the cables could do what their makers claimed, 'they would be paranormal.'"

A lot of that penn and teller bullshit bullshit was total bullshit. I watched this one where they attacked raw foodists, and rather than measure someone using raw food to create a balanced diet for themselves, they took this guy who ate nothing but wheatgrass juice and stuff like that. Then they concluded that it's bullshit that raw food contains superior nutritional value than cooked food.

That's like this study I did where I masturbated non-stop for 3 weeks while I used a microwave's radiation to etch the silhouettes of erotic lead Rorschaches on the back of my skull, and sure enough, I went blind.
