I may be a skeptic, but i am not a fool; i shall not judge something I have no hard evidence on....only problem is, I somehow think that trying this stuff in a college dorm would look REALLY wierd....

Also, to that person who said that the human body produces as much energy as a nuclear plant would in 100 years...BULL!!! Ever heard of the 2000 calorie diet? lets use that as our standard. One dietary calorie is actually a kilocalorie, and is enough energy to raise one milligram of water 1 million degrees celsius. however, that is only enough to raise one kilogram of water 1 degree celsius. that means on a 2000 calorie diet, the human body would produce in one day enough energy to raise 1 kilogram of water 2000 degrees celsius. Thats a lot, but no where near what a nuclear powerplant can do. I've been in a lake that was used to cool parts of a nuclear powerplant, (no radiation gets into the water), and the water was like 30 degrees above a normal lake tempreature. And we're talking tens of thousands of kilos of water=1 kilo of water raised 300,000 degrees celsius (assuming the lake is ONLY 10,000 kilos). That beats the hell out of what the human body does.
