Topic: Committee for Surrealist Investigation of Claims of the Normal


  
  Committee for Surrealist Investigation of Claims of the Normal information - Search.com
The Committee for Surrealist Investigation of Claims of the Normal (CSICON) is featured in the writings of Robert Anton Wilson, who claims American directorship of the committee.
According to Wilson, it was founded by Irishman Timothy F.X. Finnegan, who wrote, "The normal consists of a null set which nobody and nothing really fits." The committee claims that there is no such thing as "normal", and there are no existing "normal" people (i.e., people existing in the average).
The committee's name is a parody of the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal, and the million-pound challenge a parody of the prize offered by James Randi for evidence of paranormal abilities.

For instance, to return to our starting point, whatever your idea of the "normal" UFO---whether you consider it a spaceship, a secret US government weapon, a hoax, or a hallucination etc.---such a general idea will render you incapable of forming a truly objective view of the next UFO that comes along.
