I'm surprized Randi made it this far.
Saw him a couple years ago in an
interview and he was super thin
and shrivelled up. He looked like
an old Hobbit. Uri Geller is shedding
no tears today. What a fraudulent
piece of work he was.. Every magician
in the world knew how he was doing
his 'trick', Randi was the only one
with guts enough to break the
magicians code and expose Geller.


Honestly he looked old for a long time. In the 1970s he looked like an old man, I almost never wanted to know his real age because it would take away from the mystery (obviously now I do). I think he just had one of those faces that always looked decades older than he really was (white hair and a beard did not help). Its hard to find pictures of him as a young adult to compare.

One of my favorite exposes of him was Peter Popoff in the 1980s (this clip covers both Geller and Popoff), who is sadly much more dangerous (mega church pastor that claims god speaks to him and has information about guests relayed to him via some kind of radio to make them even more venerable to donating).
Sadly Popoff is still around and still vastly powerful, I guess gullible people will always be gullible.

Other than suing Randi and a bunch of other people for libel in various countries and for using images suggesting of him (such as Nintendo for that one Psychic Pokemon that holds the spoons) , Geller is pretty harmless and basically has just made himself into a meme and occasional legal nuisance.

Linda Tripp dies of pancreatic cancer at 70.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

I can't say I'll shed any tears over her death.

My wife saw her at the Columbia Mall in Maryland in the late 90's.

I had friends that knew her from AA meetings in Columbia

Dang it. I think the news link popped up because there's a show about her currently on. Otherwise she died twice now.

Absolutely shocking. Tony Hsieh barricaded with nitrous, grey goose and candles.
Zappos employees not surprised.
Tony had a serious nitrous problem
Wow
I myself have done a lot of nitrous

Can't say I recognized the actor's name, but I will take on anybody in L&S trivia. It was one of my favorite TV shows of the late 70's/early 80's. I went to a taping of the episode where they move to LA.

More info.
