Seems some of the quackery ideas in audio can find parallels in the car world.

I've actually got one of those inline "things" with the tin balls inside, but never used it.

They were supposed to make old cars run on unleaded fuels without problems.

And the "thing" with the LED in it is just an outright con. :evil:

I always sleep on the ground. Does that mean that I am ultimately earthed.

I wonder what a ground loop does to your health?

Presumably 'six feet under' is the ultimate healthy experience.
Philosophers have only interpreted the world - the point, however, is to change it. No it isn't ... maybe we should leave it alone for a while.

The world looks so different after learning science. For example, trees are made of air, primarily. When they are burned, they go back to air, and in their flaming heat is released the flaming heat of the Sun which was bound in to convert air into tree.

Or, go down poundland and get a couple of those little dehumidifier things with the silica gel in.
