> "Ch'i photons can be generated by happy thoughts.  We selected a recently

at
> it...."  Ashworth's team finds negative Ch'i (Yin), positive Ch'i (Yang)
> and neutral Ch'i ("Yong") mesons and concludes..."Neutral Ch'i mesons
> predominate the ether; thus the Feng Shui force has, in general,
absolutely
> no effect on anything at all....The reason that experimental physicists
> have not seen a Ch'i meson to date is that, in order to see such a
species,
> you really have to WANT to see it."

> 2.)  Sage, M., Alsabti, E., Skolnick, A. "Waste Not Want Not:  Appendix
> Transplantation."

> "...as many as 100,000 healthy appendixes are removed unnecessarily and

> difficulty transplantation centers have in finding viable donor organs for

the
