Peter said...: Congratulations Jen! It's a really funny piece. Pussy control has never sounded so...paranormal. Crazy Mr. Randi would be hard pressed not to award you the grand prize.

Please give John Hodgman a big hug from me when you see him at the awards dinner.; 9:14 AM

Molly Crabapple said...: Congragultions! I envy you with the power of a thousand suns.; 12:17 PM
James Randi said...: Dear Ms. Dziura,

Thank you for your recent letter published by McSweeney’s and brought to my attention by your friend Matt Penn this morning, in which you offered to accept my challenge. I appreciate your respect for the scientific method, young lady, but will tell you that there is nothing paranormal about what you propose at all. As my friend Ricky Jay pointed out when I discussed your note with him this afternoon, “That is an old parlor trick. A Dutch whore named Margarethe, who in 1843 became a courtesan to the fifth Admirateur de Chaussures following the death of his wife Hermione, relied upon the display of her genitalia to persuade the old man to share with her his snuff, crossing and uncrossing her legs with great subtlety until at last he would proffer a little silver box which she would immediately snatch from his hand. . .How do you think we got the term ‘snatch’ to refer to a chick’s hoohah, Jim? Gimme a break!”

Indeed. Gimme a break!

Nice Try,
James Randi; 4:26 PM

James Randi said...: Dear Jennifer Dziura,

I accept defeat.

Your one million dollar cheque is in the post.
