I was talking to a coworker about some crazy/stupid emails I’d been getting and he asked me if I’d ever seen the “Immortality guy.” I told him no and this normally calm coworker of mine gets severely hopped up and insists I check him out.

I didn’t and don’t know whether to be amused or aghast.

See for [yourself](http://www.alexchiu.com/)

This guy claims to have created a pair of rings that induce immortality. No shit.

Some of the other gems from this site:

> **What causes gravity?**  
> When the core of the earth rubs against the earth’s surface, the core becomes very negatively charged. When anything becomes very negatively charged, it starts attracting things from nearby. Therefore, conductive materials lie deep below the earth, while nonconductive materials flow to the surface of the earth. This created weight and gravity.

Wow.
