19:39:52 <sbp> no, but this might explain a lot about boingboing posts
19:40:24 <sbp> actually the quoted material is less sensationalistic than the patter around it
19:40:36 <laplink> But of course.
19:40:41 <sbp> but this is not new research since Prof. Persinger has been working on it since the 1970s

22:46:04 <[bjoern]> Do you have a ten step guide to doing that?
