Uri Geller bends metal.

Yes, I know, old news. But I’ll bet you didn’t know he bends bicycles, too. (Thanks to Red Ferret.)

As an aside — and I’m not sure I should even mention this — but don’t you find more than a passing resemblance between Uri and Gerry McCambridge? Hey, I’m just asking.

Has anyone ever seen them together? I mean, is it a Batman/Bruce Wayne kind of thing?

No, I don’t think so, Ray. While a compelling argument can be made that the subjects involved — Batman, Bruce Wayne and McCambridge — are, ultimately, cartoon characters, I believe it can be demonstrated that only Batman/Bruce Wayne can be trusted to be truthful, kind and decent human beings.

Uri, on the other hand, is a larger-than-life character and in a column all to himself.

That’s cool I wonder if this product is any good?

There are better folding bikes out on the market. Bike Friday (http://www.bikefriday.com/) makes custom folding bikes that are superb, if you’re into that sort of thing.

"Escamoteur" is French for conjurer. "Tourettes" is a neurological disorder sometimes causing uncontrollable vocal outbursts. While I am descended from the French, like most I am only pop-culturally related to Tourettes.
