They asked to see YDM, but I think I will have to make a trata-version of it! Huge sticks and amplifier!

(Yes, I am a one hit wonder, apparently - but hey, a hit is a hit! :)

How to detect ghosts and spirits ect?

I just saw in a crap film this guy who had some thingey with wich he could detect spiritual activity, you know the kind. "Oh there is a high level over here now.."

Now, since I started building robots, whenever I see gadgets like that, I know how to make them. Only I do not know what sensor to use.

OK, it's a joke, but then again, what sensor would one use? Seriously? I would like to try to build one!
