And on the envelop is written the following "Bacon is warm"<BR/><BR/>AND again, if I am wrong, then I was just joking and this is my real answer: I have been given this gift of psychiness but was told, in a psychic vision, from myself in the future that I must not actually use my amazing talents, or else the whole world would cease to exist. Meaning, I must have made the world cease to exist in the future when I used my amazing powers to tell myself not to use them. Which means, who needs money? Therefor JAMES randi will not get to see me, and even if I proved my trueness, everything would cease to be, including the money. SO, as you can see, my claims cannont be falsified, so I win right?<BR/><BR/>**I would already know if I won if I used my powers, but again there is that pesky existence ceasing to exist business.... soooooo.... yeah.Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05280282512166968149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13030925.post-1125580831782644222005-09-01T08:20:00.000-05:002005-09-01T08:20:00.000-05:00Anonymous:Thank you for the suggestion.

For software and information, see e.g.<BR/><BR/>http://userpages.umbc.edu/~mabzug1/cs/md5/md5.html<BR/><BR/>This makes it virtually impossible for you, or any other similar challenger, to cheat. And anybody taking the challenge wouldn't have to trust neither you nor any of the people you emailed. (An email date is pretty worthless, as it can of course be faked very easily.)<BR/><BR/>Not that I believe anyone will be able to see the number(s) (or even bother responding to the challenge), but I thought you might like to know how to improve your protocol. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
