Nothing's changed Houdini!

Excellent find!

I was humungously distressed last year to read an advertising feature which purported to demonstrate that Houdini was a spirit talking from beyond the grave. It was a promotion for the Living TV (ironic name!) programme Most Haunted starring the ubiquitous Derek Acorah.

Sometimes I don't know how these people sleep at nights.

They have the ghosts sing them lullabies, obviously.

Or maybe his "spirit bunnies" sing him to sleep. Remember that ridiculous notion? Even Ciaran O'Keefe said that episode was the first time he'd ever heard of spirit bunnies and he hoped that it would be the last. :D

Simple, they're interested in truthiness, not money. To quote a spoonbender in the current Commentary,
Thanks for your generous offer, Mr Randi, but I must respectfully decline your prize. Your idea would not actually serve as any such "SHORTCUT" for me because my journey is to empower the world with truth, not 'make a million dollars'.

The pedant asks:
Was there supposed to be a comma in the title of this thread? Otherwise, I agree; he's not changed much in the last few decades.

You beat me too it, Rat. Having been dead for quite some time now, I'd imagine he was done decomposing already.

So pedants how should it read? Letters are missing so therefore an apostrophe is needed..no? It isn't possesive I know,but hey it's not Oxford dictionary forum! :)
Nothing's changed, Houdini?

Yes, but you could have left the exclamation mark :)

This reminds me of the bit in the Life Of Brian when he is caught writing graffiti on the wall by the Romans. It is supposed to say (in Latin) "Romans, go home!" (as a command), but actually says "Romans go home" (as a statement). In Latin, one at least has the vocative case to make this sort of thing clearer; in English, we must make do with a comma.

Exactly. Azrael, you must now re-write the thread title 1000 times correctly. I expect this to be done by sunrise-and no using the cut and paste commands, either!
