Balls to you, too

There's a scam going around. Okay, there are plenty of scams and spams going around. But this one is pretty good. Here's one of the links.

Magnetic laundry system, anyone? Cleans your clothes without all those "hazardous chemicals", otherwise known as laundry detergent. Apparently, this scam has been going around for quite a few years, too. Check out this page, dated Nov 2000.

Here's a rule of thumb : if it seems to involve physics mumbo-jumbo, especially magnetic forces, and it sounds too good to be true, get outta there! I've heard of magnetic pallets to put into your fuel tank to "align" your fuel molecules. I've heard of magnetic straps to wear on your wrist to "align" your magnetic life force (or something). But magnetic laundry balls, that's a good one, lol. Also, as a peakoiler, I keep hearing about perpetual motion machines based on "permanent magnets".

Balls to the scammers. And spammers.
