But now that I know it doesn't work, it saves me from having to dig up all the hard drive magnets I strategically planted around the house to keep the aliens away.



Oh sure, I'll bet you are going to debunk that one too. But I am firmly convinced it works, since not one alien has visited my house.
How do you know that for sure as they could have arrived as the mailman, pool cleaner, any other service person. They will take up human form to keep from scaring us, you know.
