In a few years, Uri Geller and his followers will realize that the world of cynics and skeptics is no longer suitable for them and they'll move to a small island in the Pacific where they'll start a glorious new country governed using the principles of spoon bending, curse removing and soccer team blessing.

It shall be known as 'UriNation'. :D

First of all, the esteemed Mr. Geller has decided that he's going to remove a curse from an English town. I do hope he succeeds.

Then, he's appearing before the famous debating society Oxford Union. He's offered to (yawn) fix broken watches.

According to the article he is going to "exorcise" the "cursed stone" with his "pendulum" in his garden which has converging "ley lines".

Umm, exactly how many different conflicting belief systems does Uri subscribe to?

I'd pay to watch that.

I really would.

I see the appeal this event has for Uri... he gets to say he amazed them fancy debate folks down at Ox and Fjord Union. He'll drone on about how they are trained in observing and finding mistakes... how they are critically trained and they can argue something fierce-like... so if'n he can demonstrate his "powers" in front of them... then he must truly be a gift of GAWD!

Obviously it can help his act and he can raise rates at future gigs.

But what on earth would cause the Oxford Union to invite him... or to even tolerate him... going there to build his career on their reputation?

All the ones that make money. :rolleyes:

If he could dredge a few dollars out of rattling chicken bones in a cup, he'd do that too.
 
Geller at Oxford Union Feb and March?

I'm a bit confused about his Oxford appearances. Apparently he was there in February and discussed Michael Jackson. And I think he's scheduled to be there today as well?

http://www.uri-geller.com/articles/2005/oxford.htm

If he demonstrated his "paranormal" abilities in February, I couldn't find the results anywhere, including his urigeller.com and the Oxford Union site.

I've found nothing at all about it on the Oxford site. Maybe he's lying about this appearance? Geller has never shown any reluctance about lying in the past.
 
A relation of Sigmund Freud, Geller has been the subject of a number of scientific studies which confirm his phenomenal abilities. Experience his mind and spoon-bending powers live!

This is what Oxford University has been reduced to these days.

I think Oxford's reputation for producing great thinkers is mostly in the past now.

It's sad really.
 
"The world-famous psychic, paranormalist and mystic, Uri Geller, comes to the Union to talk about his work and to give a demonstration of his extraordinary talents. ..."

Too bad he's no useful talents. When was the last time you needed a spoon bent? Or a bent spoon, for that matter?


"A relation of Sigmund Freud,..."

Is being related to Freud so interesting that I'd want to meet someone? Actually, a friend of mine is Lotte Lenya's neice. But she would still be my friend if she weren't.

" Geller has been the subject of a number of scientific studies which confirm his phenomenal abilities...."

Really? I'd not ever heard of those studies.


" Experience his mind and spoon-bending powers live!"

I can bend spoons with my bare hands. I've seen a bear bend spoons with his bear hands. Not really, I lied about the bear.
 
Its today when Uri is supposed to be at Oxford.Maybe something online tomorrow..;)
 
The problem here is that the law of averages suggests that things have got to get better in Carlisle soon, and when they do, Uri will claim responsibility.
 
I'm related to everyone who's ever lived. I do not brag about it, as the distinction is not unusual.
 
Was extremely dissapointed when I saw this had made it into a local newspaper here in Wellington. Admittedly it was a small article in the "World News" section, but it did have a picture of Uri looking extremely smug.
