Yes there are several "Sucker's" born every minute.  Unfortunatey
in this case the true sucker's are likely to be the people that
have ridiculed the original posting without any investigation on
ther own part.  Indeed several reliable and independent sources have
confirmed the performance of this machine.  (See October's Science
Digest if you don't believe me).

I've often wondered if what it would be like to be living on a flat
earth at the centre of the universe.
