Non MDC Monetary Challenges from Around the World

Postby really? » 23 May 2010, 22:35

It's been evident for sometime that the Randi challenge is severely criticized and a big irritation in general by the New Age community and it's sympathizers. So I gathered some others that are not associated with the MDC. As far as I know no one has won any prize money from these other challenges either.

There's even a person in China offering an award no site though. 1,000,000 Yuan prize in China offered by Sima Nan
A Wikipedia search will bring up others not listed above.

Good Luck.

yes

here we have a bunch of chickens
koenig kind of applyed for the challenge, daz wont do a simple test and jim callahan ran away from ben harris challenge
there was another guy that also talked about taking the test and never did.. he claimed he could move stuff in his dreams and fought statues.. he was indeed crazy, but now he is gone..

the evidence is clear.
it seems there is a relation between coward behavior and supporting paranormal stuff
For every person who reads this valuable book there are hundreds of naïve souls who would prefer to have their spines tingled by a sensational but worthless potboiler by some hack journalist of the paranormal.

Don't forget about the contest for the TK I posted. It is not offered as a test of the paranormal, but as a test between paranormal believers. There appear to be plenty of cases where people can try.

Last night I watched a number of places where people tested on a TV show Randi did. I was surprised at how many people got on the show and were tested.
