PsiPog's Sean Connelly, aka. peebrain, did a little bit of an investigation into Randi and his JREF million dollar challenge into the paranormal. Of course, just about anyone involved in the paranormal in any form has heard of his challenge, and feels that it's total bunk. Randi has eluded many challenges over the years, and continues to carry out his vendetta on a few people in the paranormal world.
However, the latest news is that his "million dollars" might be worthless anyway. Not only that, but him and his henchmen faked some e-mails along the way during this check into their money, as well. Having corresponded with Mr. Connelly a couple of times a while back, I'll take his word over Randi's any time.
This investigation is about six months old, back from when PsiPog was still maintained, but was recently picked up on The Anomalist.

I read that article, and it made me sad. I'd always looked at that challenge as pretty good evidence that most psychics, UFO buffs, etc were full of it. And here he is being openly hostile and rather full of shit himself. Probably has something to do with why the proof he seeks still hasn't come forward.
Unfortunately it's pretty well known that Randi refuses to give a fair challenge to begin with. Many times when faced with cases that he can't debunk, he's simply chosen to not allow them to enter the contest.
For instance, if a psychic with a good track record attempts to enter his challenge, he'll simply say, "It's a well known scientific fact that there's no such thing as psychic ability, therefore I don't even need to test you" and that's the end of it.
He talks a good case, and there's a lot of people who believe what he says, but in the end he's definitively full of it.
