/I see what you did there.

YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE, COPPERS!

CPT Ethanolic: /I see what you did there.

O.

It won't make any difference.

True believers won't be swayed by any amount of evidence. They'll claim that the results were falsified, or that the whole study was fake from the start, and they'll believe commercials and "uncle Bob's story about his bracelet" over the science.

The sales might dip, or the companies might rename themselves. But they'll come back, keep making money, and people will keep believing.

No one ever went broke betting on people's gullibility.

I had a science teacher way back in middle school who wore one of these. It kind of damaged his credibility in my eyes.

Chi Chi Rodriguez said to be devastated.

They have to be used WITH THE MAGNETS.

/and the crystals
//and don't forget the scented candles.

Good thing I bought the Titanium ones.

Yeah, but they are still snazzy.

ScubaDude1960: They have to be used WITH THE MAGNETS

jesus. I have a customer who is into the magnets. He sent his wife in one day to try to try to recruit me. It took forever to get her off my back. Ugh.

A fool and his money are soon parted..

Au, that's too bad.

LOBSTER STICKS TO MAGNET

OH SnAP

My copper bracelet has double the magnetivity of regular copper bracelets -- for twice the effectiveness!

Religion is going to be very upset that you're talking.

But rubbing wax on my forehead will still cure my headaches, right?

thank god I still have my crystals and rocks...

I know people who swear by them. They know the science is bs and that it's probably a placebo but it actually helps them. If it works for them who cares.

My friend Tim's older brother says that if you wear one with magnets on your weiener, you gain 2-3" in length and up to 1" in girth. He says that its incredible and that all his friends are now wearing the copper bracelets with magnets.

/true story
//go buy one
///it'll make yur wiener grow hugemongous

Copper bracelets do work, but only if they're made from the same copper that they use for Monster Cables.

Salacious Salad: I know people who swear by them. They know the science is bs and that it's probably a placebo but it actually helps them. If it works for them who cares.

Fark cares.

Religion would rightly be upset with that, because it's so applicable to them. Also, entirely accurate.

Paris1127: Au, that's too bad.

I'll give you nine out of tin.

Copper bracelets WORK !!!

They relieve pain, almost immediately, and extremely effectively

/ Only if you buy the copper from me
// And it relieves my pain not yours

At least they didn't debunk the green stripe written on the CD.

Kumana Wanalaia: But rubbing wax on my forehead will still cure my headaches, right?

If you apply directly to the forehead.

Did these same friends represent a large purchasing group for fark headline t-shirts ?

that might be the best one sulfur.

I unknowingly bought a copper ring covered with a thin gold foil veneer once when I was drunk. A day later, when my finger turned green, I didn't feel good at all.

any good that is done is cancelled out by the "get rid of undigested food in your intestines" crap on the right side of the page.

If you want to make periodic table puns you better hurry before the good ones argon.

I heard that puns are bad ferrous.

I think my new hobby will be putting up cookie-cutter style websites that sell various scam items.

'Magic lead in pencils that make you score better on tests'
'Magic cup with a magnet at the bottom that keeps you healthy'
'Bottles filled with fresh air from the top of Mount Everest that cures cancer'.

I figure $10 dollars a month for hosting fees of about 50 of these sites considering how little bandwidth I'll get, and how little content I'll have. A few of them I might buy two or three domain names for and give each one a different angle.

One sale a month will cover my costs and my claims will be so outrageous nobody will be able to prove them wrong, and I won't be generating enough income to really have to worry about legal troubles form it.

Once the sites are up, they are zero maintenance. Virtually no risk involved.

"And if your hands were made of metal that would mean something."

My copper bracelets and magnets totally work; that's why I haven't gotten cancer from chain-smoking.

Placebo effect.

That is all.

But Placebos work 30% of the time!

Kumana Wanalaia: sseye: If you want to make periodic table puns you better hurry before the good ones argon.

Or worse yet, carbon copies.

Doc Loliday: Kumana Wanalaia: But rubbing wax on my forehead will still cure my headaches, right?

Apply directly to forehead.

I for one am shocked. Shocked!

Wait, since when is copper poisoning supposed to be good for us?

I swear sometimes it seems the flimsier the evidence for something, the more likely people will believe it.

You don't want to claim the fresh air cures cancer, you want to state that it "helps the body to resist cancer, naturally." That way you don't get quite as many idiots who went out and got themselves cancer filing law suits against you.

Depressing that copper is now practically a "precious metal," eh?

Speaking of which, I have over a mile of that precious coppery metal strung in my crawl space. I of course had to call the electrician when copper was through the roof.

Made the checkbook squeal like a pig.
