I have to ask, Sunny. I know Ng is a common last name, but how do you pronounce it? This has always confused me.
This very simple when saying it, but really tricky to explain in text. I guess the best way I can think to describe it is like the word “WING”, minus the “WI” so just say “NG”.
There is a distinct lack of vowel in that name. I have the inclination to pronounce it Ing but I know that’s wrong. I guess Ng isn’t too hard to get used to, though.
I love Randi!
His example of an aspirin in Lake Tahoe is actually an understatement for many homeopathic treatments. For example, to get a single molecule of the original substance in a 30C tincture, one would need to consume an amount of water about 30 billion times the volume of the Earth.
I wonder if he is related George Carlin.
What are some frauds illegal while frauds like this sort of crap are overlooked? Fraud is fraud is fraud.
