Heh. I’ve been a fan of Randi’s since he did a psychic surgery on the Carson show. Of course, \he _did_ like my book too.\ ---

I always wanted to be part of a signature; belonging to a sig is much less bloody than a street gang and much less suicidal than your average electric kool-aid, acid-swilling cult. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by UncleBeer \* > \*\*Science, my ass. \*\* UncleBeer, if there’s science in your ass, I _refuse_ to peer-review. 😃 > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by The Bad Astronomer \* > \*\*Heh.

Are you Mr. Plait from [Bad Astronomy?](http://www.badastronomy.com) If so, I liked your book as well! If you’re not he, then let me know where I could get a copy of _your_ book. 🙂 ---

Yeah, that’s me. Sometimes I like to drop in, pimp my book, and then drop out again. ---

I’m vice president of a college club (Students for Science and Skepticism) that once sponsored a talk by Randi. I got to meet him personally and get his autograph and everything. It was really great: he was completely on for two hours and then took questions afterward. Really a once in a lifetime experience.
