Who would buy into any of these stuff?

Man. . . this really gets me into thinking I should make a gadget with purported benefits and make $$$.

And reading the comments made in the link. It seems even after being disproven, people still believe in BS.

Fools are easily parted with their money.

The guy trying to deposit a $1 million bill was worse.

1) Ok. So you're going to give it a shot. That's dumb enough, but we'll let desperation be your excuse.

2) A million might be a bit much, consider the government has never issued one of those. Maybe go for a few thousand instead?

3) You give the bill to the teller, and see her confused reaction. Laugh it off, it was only a joke. Who would really try to pass that off as real, right? You both have a good laugh.

4) None of the above. You come in with a $1 million bill and when the teller doesn't accept, you get pissed off and start yelling at everyone. Now you're facing jailtime.

you gotta give him some credit. America has become the place where yelling will get you what you want. Late fee? Overcharge/draft? Someone in your parking spot, cashier working too slowly? Yell, and yell like there is no tomorrow. At least he was at least smart (or dumb) enough to realize that and proceeded to try to get things 'the American way'.

You remember how in math class, they told you that the number line just keeps going and going?
Well, the limit of human stupidity is just a weeee bit beyond the end of the number line.

I have seen homemade dowsing rods find buried water lines with amazing accuracy.

Everything else on the page is laughable.
