What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.

I was flipping through the accessory pages at the Cable Company and came up with this https://www.thecableco.com/hallograph.html You have to be kidding me. Of all the dumb, idiotic, profoundly stupid things I have ever seen. The marketing is even better! Have you seen anything worse! It is up to us to uncover these things for what they are, SCAMS.

Shakti did obtain a patent on the stone but I can locate nothing for the Hallograph. Patents are not cheap..if you hire an agent or a patent attorney. The fees are cheap for a small entity. Tom

PS Audio Noise Harvester. I know it's snake oil but I still bought one! The blue flashing LED did show me which dimmer switches were making the most noise, but made absolutely no difference in the sound of my system. I think Paul invented it for a joke just to see how many suckers he could reel in!

I think it would cost more to keep a patent pending for 17 years given than it would cost to simply file it.  I am guessing that patent application is long since not pending.
