Oct 3 2008Magic Hat Makes You Smarter, Look Stupid

FIRST!!!

Ha, you're all first-raped.

#1: asshat

I admit it'd be cool if it worked, but am skeptical.

Hehe, just realized...this thing itself could be nicknamed "asshat"

Also, the guy in the picture looks constipated...maybe this thing has severe adverse of side effects.

#1: assface

shit that creative thing does work

What about all the fears surrounding cell phones causing cancer, and the dangers of living under power lines? WTF-O!?

Way to temporarily paralyse one side of your body. Count me in!

@2: cock-neck

whats a cock-neck

Wow that some constipatiiiiiiiiiii mean concentration he's got goin on there.

Magic hat DOES make you smarter :)

Oh God the tumors. Just to make sure I got this right, we're putting on a hat that disturbs the electrical signals in our brains... on purpose now?

It's an interesting concept, but it sounds like a little more delicacy may be required. This sounds like there should be a dial on the side with settings ranging from "Rain Man" to "TIMMAY".

id be out in the rain !!!

You can use it as a helmet when you go out crusing on your jag-off motorcycle.

@10

Wait, you mean there's a way to enlarge my penis by just taking pills? I wish someone would email me this information.

Look, sorry. Somewhere between the giant helmet and the MAGNETS FOR MY BRAIN they lost me. If i want to scramble my brains, I'd do coke and heroin (they do such lovely things for my figure)

and your enlightenment comes as a "burst of creative, mathmatical or OTHER talent" if the "burst" doesnt blow the side of your head off, what if you get the "OTHER" talent? Maybe it would be something crappy like recite the alphabet backwards.

This thing REALLY worked for me.... This thing REALLY worked for me...
This thing REALLY worked for me... This thing REALLY worked for me...
Crap, where's reset? Crap, where's reset? Crap, where's reset?
TIMMAY!!!!!

@ 15

"Other" talent may also include superpowers such as the ability to sit completely still and not react to anything in your surroundings for at least 30 years.

Maybe the "details filed unconsciously" were filed away for a reason. Somehow we are going to have to be civil at family reunions and an over active memory is going ruin thanksgiving for uncle friendly.

Man, there's a keen grasp of neuroscience at work here.

It's a good thing magnets really don't do a damn thing to the human body, saves a lot of personal injury.

@19

People keep telling me that brains are like computers. And, you know what a magnet can do to a computer, right?

Fail of epic porportions. Sci-Fi channel has gotta love this stuff, though.

do I need this thing to find out what an Asshat is???

F*** the right side! Always hoarding details.

Ahh it all makes sence now. This must be the helmet they strapped on that robot kid yesterday before filming. I gotsta get me one of these. ZAP

@17, I think that is called an frontal lobotomy.

I thought it was radio/micro-something waves that were coming off of cellphones and ruining our brains, not magnetic waves/energy.

Oh and @24, It's spelled "sense", not "sence".

Fake!

That's a complete photoshop. FYI, prople don't have see-through craniums, and magic magnet hats aren't transparent either.

figure of 8 shaped magnets are really just several loops of wire, and the figure of 8 shape will make the fields cancel thereby making this hat ineffective.

Fine details on the right, bigger picture on the left. That isn't even remotely true. The temporal lobe of the left hemisphere (where this thing seems to act) is most well known for its association to language processing and storage. The right temporal lobe deals with spatial reasoning - probably more of a 'bigger picture' construct than language stuff. Also, around 20% of leftys have their hemisphere's reversed, so even if this thing did do what it's supposed to, the results would be totally different for those people. Yay for pop neuroscience.

@15: I think the "other" power is the ability to realize that you just spent too much of your hard earned money on crap.

"You want me to make a donation to the Coast Guard Youth Auxiliary"

This thing looks f***ing retarded.
I don't care how smart it makes me if I have to look like a douchebag.

Anyone who actually believes this is a f***ing retard, and even if it would work there's no way it could fix your retardedness.

Hmm.. looks like you need this one guys..

For all the nay-sayers, proof of the tip of the iceberg in rTMS technology. hopefully this will lead to real research into curing autism and other genetic brain disorders

for all the people who say it'll fry your brain or it's fake, it's hilarious to read a bunch of people bullshit their way through shit they don't know just to sound funny. #34 got it right, the uses of rTMS are just beginning to be explored.
