Sylvia Browne

The James Randi Educational Foundation (as in "The Amazing Randi" has recently changed the conditions of the "Million Dollar Challenge". That's the challenge where you can win a one-million-dollar prize if you can show, under proper observing conditions, evidence of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event. They used to accept anyone who applied. No one ever passed the preliminary tests. The new requirements are that the applicant must have a "sufficient media profile" and "some sort of academic recommendation". This has been done so that the JREF can spend more time on high-profile figures who are conning people out of a lot of money. One of the current 'targets' is Sylvia Browne who accepted the challenge 5 years ago on Larry King Live, but she has yet to submit to the testing which may only take 30-45 mins. Wouldn't she want the million dollars? Of course she can bilk more money then that out of people in no time...but if she really can do it why not prove it and donate the money to charity? Her Novus Spiritus church is asking for donations.

I put a button on the sidebar to "Stop Sylvia Browne" which has more information about her. Here are some more links...
