I'm holding out for the anti-matter diet. Great way to get rid of some weight and release all your energy!

I can envision the Tim & Eric skit.

    With the new KaBOOM pills, from Cinco, just one, and you're done! After your stomach acids eat through the mag lev device, the antimatter is no longer suspended, and is free to annihilate with that pesky stomach lining. Although the pill will kill you, we are the first diet pill company to guarantee meaningful weightloss for any user. After your corpse is stitched back together for the funeral, some of your bits will have been left behind, on walls, floors, and ceilings, resulting in a second round of weightloss. You'll be thin, in your coffin, and that's how you'll be remembered.

    Wiley Brooks later claimed that Diet Coke and McDonald's cheeseburgers have special "5D" properties. The idea of separate but interconnected 5D and 3D worlds is a major part of Wiley Brooks' ideology, and Wiley Brooks encourages his followers to only eat these special 5D foods, as well as meditate on a set of magical 5D words.

I was not disappointed.

In the same vein as francopoli: sun-gazers. People who believe they can survive solely by the energy of the Sun.

And apparently, NASA confirmed that sun-gazing is a real energy source. Of course they didn't: the article's first line goes:

    The title may have taken you off guard, but like all the other things in life you have to read between the lines and decipher the real meaning that is evident here.
