He's thinking of delicious food, and lying curled up anxiously for the police to go away so he can enjoy it.

It would have to be a piece of shit AKA a cat for that scenario to be true.

I used to own two dogs who grew up together. One of the dogs eventually died of old age. My other dog understood what happened and suddenly began to howl. This dog has never howled in his life until his companion died. I wouldn't have believed that dogs understood the concept of death and loss if I hadn't seen it myself.

Well, if a parrot can understand verbs and numbers, it's not so farfetched to thing a dog can understand death,

What did we suddenly forget about Oscar the death cat? who brought warmth and compassion to the last hours of the old?
(his name was Oscar right?)

That's just a damn touching image.

You know Oscar because he was a notable oddity. Dogs regularly mourn human passing.

Parrots don't understand it. They just remember the shapes.

There have been parrots that have learned how to use language and not just mimic or 'recognize shapes', and who have consistently read their owners mind in verifiable trials, as well as apes who can and have learned sign language. Both apes and parrots are highly social animals, and that is a key feature in intelligent animals. I'm sure dogs, as sophisticated predatory pack animals that understand hierarchy and individualized roles, could feel loss at the death of a beloved pack member.

The mind-reading parrot stunt is a hoax. The results don't hold up to scientific methods, that's why the owner of the "mindreading" parrot didn't win Randi one million dollars. I can explain how they faked the parrot telepathy if you want.

I'm not saying the psychic parrot is real, but using Randis' opinion is a fail on your part.

There's the story of Hachiko, the dog that waited for his master everyday at the train station. One day the master died at work and the dog waited at the train station for a long time for it's master.

Randi is a douche, but he uses proper scientific methods (for example, double-blind tests) to test the paranormal claims.

And anybody with half a brain can see that the N'kisi parrot test was a sham. Here's an article that explains how they faked it (skip to the middle where they start talking about the telepathy test):

http://www.skepdic.com/nkisi.html

Basically, the testers limited the amount of test words to only 19, and they discarded 60 of the 147 trials to make the results look better.

Randi's also a pedophile.

Randi doesn't always user proper scientific methods. Sometimes his "logical" explanations for things are more fantastic than the paranormal things he's trying to debunk. When his double blind tests are passed he gets hysterical, and desperate, and will throw out any non-paranormal scenario he can imagine. He also gets quite pissed off.

That's because Randi doesn't have the million dollar award for proof of the paranormal. He's so cocksure that there is nothing more than empirical and non-supernatural reality that he's not going to pay out should someone prove him wrong.

Also this thread is starting to smell like something from /x/

No, I'm not interested in looking it up for you. He's exposed many frauds, and his explanations are often very logical and correct. If you want to know more about his failures, and assness look it up for yourself.

Translation: I made up that silly anecdote about Randi's tantrum because he's a jerk who doesn't believe in ghosts, telepathy, and crystal energy.

Translation: You're just as lazy as me, and don't want to look it up either.

I don't hate Randi because he's a skeptic. I'm one too. I just think he's second rate, and a bit of a fraud himself. Penn & Teller seem to be really good skeptics, though it's hard to tell if Teller is.

This isn't some test, or trial. I have no reason to prove anything. if you interested in what I said about Randi then do the research yourself, and you'll find it.

To date, over 1,000 applications have been filed but no one has passed a preliminary test, which is set up and agreed upon by both Randi and the applicant.

Aww, took at the puppy curling up next to the still-warm body. It must be cold.

Yes because he will fail them for any reason he can imagine. Even coming up with stupid scooby doo type theories that he can't prove.

Hey, Randi should investigate that dog in england that always starts to bark 1/2 hour before it's owner comes home.
>> Anonymous
Wait a second. One million is shit. I'm psychic, and I realise that if I had that money, it needs to go where it can do the most good, and that's what Randi should do with it in the first place.

Fuck his carrot.

Now, if he ran a yearly dedication donation for the most psychic, I'd be in. But a prise? Fuck that. A million wouldn't help nuthin, and it would cause problems.

Taxes, loans, friends you didn't know you had, relatives, etc. I'm smarter than that.
