    Crap, I remember seeing a very similar looking gadget, with an identical list of BS claims about its funtionality on 60 Minutes over a decade ago. It was being sold to gullible hick police departments in the states. #ade651

    This is basically a electronic dowsing rod. It works only by random chance. People just choose to forget about all the times it is wrong because they want to believe it works. #ade651

    Wow, this is the same crap they tried to sell years ago as the DKL Lifeguard.

    [skepdic.com]

    I remember when Tom Clancy included the DKL in the novel "Rainbow Six." It was like, "Coooool, you can detect heartbeats through walls!" He, of course, was taken in by the fraud.

    And that was over TEN YEARS ago.

    Man, this makes me want to sell the Iraqis magic beans. #ade651

    Still, it works better than their previous bomb detector.

    @Tiny Iota: "Is this a bomb?" *shake shake*
    Ask again later.
    *shake shake*
    Concentrate and ask again.

    Cannot predict now.

    I'm sure they can make up the difference by reselling them as ecto-repellant, or even an E-meter. I'm sure Cruise would be happy to roam about his estate searching for thetans.

    I could see this as a serious safety hazard...I mean, boobies are distracting enough as it is, but VIBRATING boobies?? The frequency of dudes walking into lampposts/manholes/traffic has just been increased by 1000%...

    Penn and Teller had a good Bullshit show regarding these ridiculous products (penis and breast enlargement products, a multi million dollar industry). Basically, none of the stimulation / meditation / pills / swimming with the dolphins stuff actually works.
    Either live with what you have (like Curves, though I get the feeling she was somewhat genetically gifted), or go get some good old fashioned surgery.

    @Curves: Yes, I agree... the true measure of a woman is not the size of her breasts... its the shape!
    The idea of handling a women's heart with all that blood is kinda gross. Sounds like you've been watching to much True Blood.

    @tenazrael: No, no, no, the heart is more important. For it is the heart that keeps the breasts alive and warm.
