This is great. There's an article here about the British Chiropractic Association suing Simon Singh (about the claims of chiropractors concerning treating children). the article notes that chiropracty was begun by a magnet therapist. The comments contain the following gem:
Why on earth would a magnet need a therapist? "I'm so needy, I attract the wrong kind of people"..."I don't know what's wrong with me, every time I meet a kindred spirit, I just drive them away"..."I'm covered in iron filings"...?
Matt! It's good to see you posting.
Hypnosis and magnets were the acai berries of the old days.
BTW, the meteor ought to be passing by Earth about now.
Plei, is it you that only likes Tennant in Fright Night? Mmm.
Magnets are still the magnets.
IO9 has a picture up of three of the last known hirola. Technically, any picture of any three anythings is three of the last known, eh? Just, sometimes there are really a lot of them known.
Magnets are still the magnets.
HOW THE FUCK DO THEY WORK?

The funniest web page I've seen in a long time. [link] Some excerpts:
Rumor: The Coca-Cola Company is a Jewish company. (Variations of this rumor suggest that the Company is affiliated with the Mormon religion.)
Rumor: Coca-Cola contains pork
Our Response: Coca-Cola does not contain pork nor any other animal derivatives. Additionally, Coca-Cola meets the safety requirements, laws and practices in every country where our brands are sold.
Rumor: Coke + MSG = Aphrodisiac
Some people have been lead to believe that combining Coca-Cola with MSG (monosodium glutamate, a flavor enhancer) creates an aphrodisiac.
Our Response: MSG is a flavor enhancer used in many foods, but it is not an ingredient in Coca-Cola. There is no factual or scientific basis for concluding that Coca-Cola is an aphrodisiac -- whether or not it is combined with MSG.
My new Docs are here! They look so hot! And they fit, even better than a typical Doc right at first. The buckles mean I can adjust for fit much better than laces, and the zipper means it's easy to get them off, and not too bad to get them on, and I think that will improve with wear. I bought the insoles, which puts the heel at the right height for my impossible feet. Yay Docs! May they see me through a good decade of use.
I am now officially jealous of Liese and her Docs.
And Matt, it is lovely to see you!
