sorry about this being a big off topic,but you people are the most
witty and nice people I know so I can ask you. Check out this page-

http://www.squidoo.com/openingportals

I know it looks stupid, but people are saying in the comments it
works. Should I try it out or just forget about it and not waste my
time. what would be even better is if any of you would have the time
and just report how its going then I would love to hear about it, its
just that at my age I get bored very easily. So yeh should I try it,
or if you could try it that would be great.

Thanks everyone
Tom

I really like the fact that you decided to show us this. Sometimes its
hard to determine what is true. All of us here can help you and anyone
else with that.

day on drawing invisisble circles on my wall!

Haha, usually when half of the article or website is trying to convince you that it is not fake is a good sign that it is.

There's a ton of intentional misinformation on the internet. Sometimes it's unannounced surreal comedy for techical people that should know better, other times it's people that just take joy in misinforming others.

http://www.marksinfinitesolutions.com/tutorials/ is a good example of someone that it teaching something that sounds plausible, looks good, but is horribly wrong on purpose with no indicator that it isn't real.

if you want to hear something really crazy, you should look at
radionics. Basically, it claims with with the twist of a dial all your
wishes will come true. Not in a surreal way, they actually say wish
machine. check out

http://www.higherpowertech.com/

http://www.higherpowertech.com/

and I cant believe I used to believe in them, probably all the dial
and buttons. And thats also probably why the gene pulser looks the the
ultimate device ultimate devices. Have you seen that thing, it looks
amazing. I know a friend that isnt really into this but he loves the
gene pulser.

Thanks
Tom

Ha, one of those devices looks like a pendelum with electrostatic weighting or a capacitative coupling device. I've seen "decision makers" that look about the same.
