    The only one I'd consider ordering would be "This is not a soundwave", which I'd have framed and hang on my wall.

    I've got an anniversary coming up, I'm going to make one of these myself for my wife. Can't be too hard to use their applet, print screen, and go get some nice cord, find some flat disc type beads, string em on, knot it up, and viola, nookie for me!

    @bosskev:


    Its in quotes, its a Nirvana song, and also the chorus, music was the first application I thought of when reading Waveform. Although it was misunderstood, it was a genuine statement. It was not supposed to be funny.

    @go2hellyo: Wow. Shows how much I know about certain eras of music; I did not recognize the source of the reference and, therefore, did misunderstand your intent. Please accept my apology.


    Maybe next time do a Hall and Oates reference instead...just so us old timers don't stick our toes in our mouths.

    You end up with a bracelet that can do double duty as a garrotting wire.

    its actually not a bad idea. Although it has no real sleep-inducing properties, the device plays off the placebo effect. Ingenious. Like giving sugar pills to an ADHD kid. they do it all the time, and it actually works.

    Technically, there are two points (Pericardium 6 and Heart 7) on the wrist that treat insomnia, but the points are fairly weak if you're needling specifically for insomnia. There are MUCH better points and point combinations that can be used. Not to mention herbs and diet/lifestyle changes, etc..


    So while not -technically- incorrect, paying $40 for something you can locate and press on yourself definitely isn't worth it.

    @Oniisan608:
    Technically, all acupuncture does is pierce major nerve clusters, which causes the nervous system to freak out and flood your body with endorphines, which in turn make you feel all happy. It doesn't actually _fix_ anything that a quick hit of opium wouldn't take care of for you, provided you had been properly indoctrinated to believe that a toke of opium had all the same beneficial effects that you apparently believe acupuncture provides.


    But I do agree with you that this is a waste of $40.
