Month: June 2005

Meanwhile I’ve noticed a lot of speculation about the last few episodes and The Big Bad Wolf. I like Tom Coates theory which I’ve reprinted here.

Needless to say possibly spoilerific.

A reader of BoingBoing is on the James Randi mailing list and received the following message from the magician.

Item #6535581498 now being offered for sale on eBay is a letter written and sent to me by Doug Henning in 1983. At that time, I lived in Rumson, New Jersey. Until I saw it on eBay a few days ago, I thought it was still in my Henning file, but it apparently was stolen from me sometime after 1995, when I last referred to it.

If any of you have heard scuttlebutt about this item, I’d like to hear from you. I cannot discover who offered it for sale, but I assure you I treasured it highly.

James Randi.

I find his statement that he cannot discover who offered it for sale puzzling. The letter is being offered for sale by a company that specializes in listing items on eBay for their clients. It seems like a reputable business from what I can gather from the information listed at eBay and their contact details are clearly listed. Has Mr. Randi tried to contact them? Would they not be concerned that they could be handling stolen goods.
