Right. Let's have a look at what our buddies at Rex Inc. have to offer
in the way of enlightenment:

> anti- and artificial gravity
> permanent magnet engines
> cold & flu cures

Let me guess; these all have something to do with the following
entry:

> suppressed inventions

I thought we'd finished the discussion of perpetual motion machines in
this group. Perhaps we should start a new group: net.sci.gullible??

> aphrodisiacs

If I read one more advertisement for Yohimbe bark and its ilk as
so-called 'aphrodisiacs' I'll fwow up...

> levitation
> time camera (photographs of the past)

If you actually believe there's something to this HOGWASH, I've got a
bridge I'd like you to look at...

> spontaneous generation of acari insects

Gee, it's nice to see we've learned something the last 400 years or
so. I've got news for you: animals come from the same place as people.
If you don't believe me, ask your momma. And by the way, acarids are
NOT insects.

> transmutation

Yeah, you just take a half cup of bat's blood, stir in some newt's
toenails...

No :-) needed.                                  -- Bill Ingogly
