Psionics -- Put up or shut up
Doesn't Scientific American offer a $10,000 prize for the first person 
to exhibit paranormal powers under laboratory conditions?  As I recall,
the test had to be of their choice, which probably leaves out statistical
tests (guessing right on cards).  

Again, as I recall, nobody has claimed that money yet.  If there's anything
to psionics, perhaps someone should try.  

Please don't take this as a heavy-handed "unbeliever" taunting an infant
science because it doesn't fit the framework of a mature one, but rather
as a suggestion from someone who'd like to know if there's anything to 
this stuff, and sees a test all set up.
