No, I'm Not Kidding

So, here I've been, feeling like an idiot for burning my leg on the generator. I mean, what a bonehead move, right?

But thanks to the internet (which never lies), I've found there are a lot of people in this great world of our that are even more off of their rocker than I am.

Take this guy, Paul Adams, for example.


This fine, upstanding gentleman has invented....are you ready for this?

A FOOD REPLICATOR!

That's what he calls it.

I'm not sure why he calls it that, since his "invention" in no way imaginable, actually replicates food. You can read more about it here, but lemme give you the sum up:

You take too identical cans. You put magnets underneath the cans. You connect the cans with a wire. You take two identical plastic bottles. You put food in one bottle (that's right, just mash that cheeseburger in there) and you put tap water (bottled or distilled water won't work) in the other. You place the bottles in the cans. You wait 10 minutes (no less, and certainly not much longer) and then you remove (this is apparently VERY important) the food bottle first, and then the water bottle. You then throw the food bottle away. With the water bottle, you drink between one and ten drops (anything more might be too powerful), and then what happens is kinda unclear. At one point he says that you stop craving the food you just "replicated" (aka mashed into a bottle, observed for ten minutes, and then threw away).

But wait! There's more! You can replicate the water from the original replication over and over again! All you have to do is put more (tap, don't forget!) water in another bottle and put them both in the contraption for 10 minutes!

What's that? You don't think your "replicator" is working? Well, according to Mr. Adams, you should try hooking a variety of resistors up in between the cans, so you can just use the bottle that has the proper strength for you. That's why in the above image he has ten different receiving cans, so he can try them all and use the potency (of tap water, remember) that works best for him.

And it gets stranger.

The guy tried to live off of his "replicated" food, and after two weeks he admits he had to go back to eating regular food. He also very clearly admits that if you had the water tested afterwards, it'd give results the same as regular tap water.

Does this not seem like a waste of real, actual, perfectly good food to anyone else?!?

Well, on the bright side, at least he's giving this modern marvel away for free.

Seriously, go and read it though. It's worth it just for the FAQs at the bottom.

That's enough blogging for me tonight. I'm off to go find some cans.......
