Right, and that would be easy for you because you'd have at hand:

"One hundred Cornell undergraduates, 50 women and 50 men... recruited... 
using the Psychology Department’s automated online sign-up system."

And a lab suitable for running your computer trials. This is obviously 
doable, since Prof. Bem offers to make his code available.

The hilarious thing about this mantra of yours is that *you* are just 
some guy who typed some stuff, again and again.

Now, we happen to know that you are a pretty sharp cookie, but you have 
offered zero experimental rebuttal of any of the evidence provided by 
Bem and others; indeed, you have refused to read that evidence. Until 
you do something more interesting than being some guy who typed some 
stuff, your impact (on this topic) should be entirely inconsequential.
