Eternal Life Invented
Or so this inventor/business person claims.. Alex Chiu is selling magnetic
finger and toe rings and he says "Who can come up with a better health
device than my Immortality Device? I owe that person 1 million dollars.
Print out this page for proof." He has been issued a patent for his rings
#5,989,178 but not as a immortality device.
