    << Just a short comment,

    Wouldn 't it be just a daft idea to ever think that using one special kind
    razor would improve your tennis !?
    Or if ever Shumacher advertises for a special kind of soap would I be
    a better driver !?
    In a rational way of speaking, believing in such nonsense makes me
    wonder about a lots of people state of mind,...
    On the other hand, great subject to dive memetically into though !!

    Best regards,

    Kenneth

    ( I am, because we are) just believers like all the rest
