Found on the 'Net -- Next batch of pledges..... James Randi --- Wizard (randi-hotline@ssr.com) Thu, 26 Oct 1995 09:46:24 -0400 Folks, the reaction to the "2000 Club" suggestion has been excellent. To date, 24 hours after sending out the first inquiry, I now have $18,000 in pledges to add to my $10,000 offer. Lemme see now, that makes (pause) $28,000! And, I'm not accepting pledges less than $1,000. Let's keep life simple. Besides, anyone with any common sense knows that the money was never safer. Hold on! The nutters had a rush of adrenalin as they read that, preparing to announce that I never had any intention of ever paying out the prize money. I get that all the time, and regularly I hear that some idiot has claimed he/she won the prize, but I wouldn't pay up. Bovine droppings. I am prepared to pay if and when..... I'll be away in North Dakota until Wednesday. Surprise me with a load of pledges! Here are the pledgers so far:
Penn Jillette Teller Andrew Skolnick John Atkinson Harald Illig George J. Pappas Michael Shermer, via The Skeptics Society Rob Glanville Derek Lowe	Alan B. Eliasen Scott Ballantyne Lazz Waldo Are Samsonsen Bob Steiner Ray Blessin Brent Yaciw Charles Staniforth Joe Williams
These are from the U.S.A., Canada, Norway, UK and Sweden. Folks all over are joining the "2000 Club." James Randi. Source: http://www.mindspring.com/~anson/randi-hotline/1995/0033.html

If he's not heavy,
why are they straining so,
legs in wide stance?

With Merpati Putih, you too, can float in the air like this person.
