Double Feature! "The Nigerian Spam Scam Scam" & George Hrab

When actor Dean Cameron got the email we've all seen -- "Please help me, I am the beneficiary of $30 million!" -- he didn't delete it like the rest of us would. Instead, he responded in kind, taking the spammers for a ride that lasted well over a year. He turned this misadventure into a hilarious one-man show that has received accolades from the Los Angeles Times to Penn Jillette.

Also, musician, skeptic, and podcaster George Hrab will entertain the crowd with his outstanding mix of humor, tunes, and critical thinking. This is a must-see presentation.

Saturday, July 11, 7:30 - 10:00 p.m.

The JREF Talent Show

Are you talented? We're skeptical, so you'll have to prove it. We're throwing a good old-fashioned talent show, to see how well skeptics can do whatever it is they do. Sing, juggle, prestidigitate, tell jokes: show us what you've got. To apply, send a brief email outlining your talent to Alison Smith: alison@randi.org (please cc A B Kovacs as well: abkovacs@randi.org). Applications will be accepted until May 1, and finalists notified before June 1.

Only 10 applicants will be chosen, so make sure you practice! The Top 3 winners will receive prizes, and the others will receive the undying devotion of their fellow JREFers, or, more likely, simply be made fun of.

Added bonus: George Hrab is MCing!

One of my spies sent in the following e-mail, and let me just say that my cockles are warm.

Here it is, in it's entirety.

(Nice of her to attatch an e-mail marked "Confidential", no?)

From: Nancy Clark
To: ALL
Subject: Last Day

And on that note (no pun intended), this Friday will be my last day at Moravian College. It has been a pleasure working with various members of the college constituency during my 14 years here.

Nancy Clark

From: Thomforde, Christopher
To: College and Comenius Center
Subject: Important Message from President Thomforde - Responding to the Financial Crisis
Importance: High
Sensitivity: Confidential

Men and Women of Moravian:

I want to provide you with an update on Moravian's efforts to respond to the financial crisis.

The Finance Committee of the College Board met on Monday, February 9, 2009 to review the recommendations presented by the Senior Staff for the 2009-2010 budget. I shared these recommendations with you during my colloquium address in late January.

On Monday, February 9, 2009, the Finance Committee approved these recommendations after careful consideration and discussion.

Today we have acted upon those recommendations which have to do with personnel actions.

Specifically, we have eliminated six current positions and reduced 4 positions from 12 month to 10 month contracts. All personnel affected by these actions were notified today.

While these types of personnel actions are always difficult, they were made as part of our efforts to reduce our operating budget by $2 million in fiscal year 2009-10 and reducing positions was necessary as a part of this process.

I thank everyone who participated in this difficult process for your assistance.

Christopher M. Thomforde

President

Just for complete %100 immersion...

Here is the video for FAR (365 Days of Astronomy Theme).

This is what one person can do with a camera, iMovie, a pair of Rollerblades, and a bunch of silly hats.

Enjoy-

FAR theme for the 365 Days of Astronomy podcast

"Far" is the theme song that the Maestro wrote for the fabulous 365 Days of Astronomy podcast. He performed this at the International Year of Astronomy opening ceremonies during the AAS conference, Long Beach, California, 2009.

Download the mp3 here.

It's not just far. It's far out.
Enjoy!

astronomically yours,
Ms. Information for the Geologic Universe

lyrics

You ponder the universe and a look comes 'cross your face
You try to fathom distances of all the stuff in space
But you can't wrap the bacon of your mind around the fig
Of all the terms required to describe how big is big

So let me get specific, and use words scientific
Go whip out your thesaurus, for this exacting chorus

This stuff is far, [it's really far] this stuff is far far far away
We're talkin' far, [like über far] you can't get there by car in a day
It's super duper crazy far but not just pulsars quasars and stars
I mean it's far, far, far, if there's some doubt listen to us shout [THIS STUFF IS FAR]

I sense all the explosions going off inside your brain
As your mind gets blown by what I just did explain
Sorry if my words might drive you all insane
But that's what happens when precision is your middle name

So with an exacting factor, like some sextant or protractor
Using details quite semantic, I'll show how huge is this gigantic

CHORUS

...far too big to explain in any concise ways,
it might just have to take 365 days

I hope that I have offered up some technical assistance
And haven't caused your ticker too much ventrical resistance
But you have got to listen and trust my insistence
That I am very accurately describing the distance

CHORUS
