"Warning:
In the present position of science, white noise diodes are only considered as random generators. All the resulting effects, such as those just described, are not scientifically recognized."

Are we getting anywhere near dear Roger here? (Look at the "Bioelectromechanics" thread nestling in the GS&P forum, if you don't know what I'm talking about. But have a stiff drink handy when you do that.)

That this actually functions in this way was confirmed by the granting of a patent...

Actually this reminds me of some PEAR stuff Lucianarchy (and maybe I-Ian) were going on about before, unexpected correlations in random number generators. Presumably the idea is that the outcomes of quantum measurements can be mentally influenced. I didn't look at the PEAR results myself but I believe the conclusion was they were basically cherry-picking hits.

The idea of randomly choosing a woowoo remedy for your illness is fairly amusing, though...

But the trick is just to read the last couple of pages, and then wade in. Fish? Barrel?
