And I thought all the weirdos wearing tinfoil hats lived in america!

I'm willing to believe that freezing CD's might have some effect on
perceived quality (although since it's a digital medium I can't see any
logical reason at the moment why there should be) but when it comes to
putting frozen tapes in decks that aren't playing, writing 'x26'x in red
pen (but only a special red pen) on things, and freezing photographs of
yourself, I'm afraid it looks like either a wind up or a very unusual
and extreme delusion.

It's certainly an "interesting" site though....
