Randi on ABC tonight

Travis of Cin City Skeptics sent this out.

I wanted to be sure everyone is aware that tonight, Wednesday August 17th at 10:00pm (9:00pm Central), ABC's Primetime Nightline will air a one-hour special on psychic abilities. James Randi, along with JREF President D.J. Grothe, JREF's Million Dollar Challenge Director Banachek, and advisor Jamy Ian Swiss, worked with Nightline producers on two of the segments and participated in three days of taping, including the JREF's first-ever open Million Dollar Challenge event where hundreds of New York City psychics were invited to take the test in front of TV cameras.

I won't dare predict the results so watch ABC's 30-second teaser for the show here:

...make sure to watch the show tonight and if you get a second, let ABC know we need more of this kind of thing on television!

Noah's Ark being built in Northern Kentucky

More news from the Creation Museum If they are serious about building a life-sized ark, I wonder if they are also going to limit themselves to technologies in use at the time of the supposed building of the original ark. If that is the case this could actually be an interesting experiment. It might also be interesting to see how much constructing this would cost in today's dollars.

Whatever the case, I hope nobody is hurt during the construction.
