hahaha, i guess that settles that … now you can move onto profiling the physical possibilities or pranksters
Ha ha! Love it x
hahaha. You should have asked him as part of the Q&A!
We’re setting up a blog ourselves- hence “Edinburghskeptics” instead of Alex!
Oh, magnificent interview. 🙂
Loving it!
Very thought-provoking 🙂
It was a very short answer, lacking in detail. I reckon he’s lying.
Ah well, we’re all entitled to our own subjective opinions about what is and is not interesting 😉

Great stuff!
The way that Professor French was nodding, it looks like he was listening to something else, or another question..??
ha ha ha,good one.
The broken frame event is obviously interesting, since it has provoked so much discussion; and this interview only adds to its interest. Why would an otherwise normal, educated expert deny interest in a quirky event that is interesting by definition? The more people deny its interest, the more interesting it becomes.
I can see a TV show built around this concept. The pilot might examine the paradoxical headline “Oldest man in the world dies,” which invariably provokes thought among those of us afflicted with thought provocation syndrome (TPS). For example, I myself cannot even get past the mystery of whether it was the frame or the glasses that broke here. Obviously, the lenses did not break! Interresting indeed!
Quite frankly your story about the broken glasses is a story which should have many other questions attached to it. When you removed the glasses were they in fact cracked before you placed them down? Did they at some stage develop a weakness at the breakage point? Could someone in the flat have broken them whilst you were in the shower? There are too many possibilities to the question – least of all – did some unseen entity feel the need to break your glasses in half? Of course Prof. Chris French doesn’t see a possibility that a spirit entity could have done the deed – He is a profound skeptic if ever I saw one.
