I can only say right now that an author skeptic has died. I only know this because a close friend of this author put it on his page ( the page of the friend, not the author). I will post an official link when there is a public statement made by the news or the family.

James Randi?

Quote:James Randi Death Hoax Dismissed Since Illusionist Is ‘Alive And Well’

On Saturday (December 26) the illusionist's reps officially confirmed that James Randi is not dead. “He joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. He's still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet,” they said.

It was just a guess - I hadn't read or heard anything about Randi dying, but he's in his late eighties, and his health isn't all that good.

I'm happy to be wrong.

If it's Sam I'll go ahead and become a buddhist monk.

No this is serious, just wait, I will post it if someone else doesn't get to it first, I am simply waiting for an official story.

What's the point if you're waiting for an official story. Then we'll have known either way. I think if a friend of his publicly revealed it, it's okay to tell us lol. We won't hold you responsible if it turns out to be wrong.

I've exchanged tweets with this author myself, not close to them at all, but this author was very helpful to me in expanding my awareness of how religion fits into all of human history.

I'm sorry to hear that. I won't press you any further.

Not offended at all, just waiting as a mater of pragmatism.
