But L.Ron Hubbard DID have style...

So, I found one on eBay. I want this. I mean, I REALLY want this. A working Scientology E-Meter, for getting rid of all those nasty engrams, and foiling Xenu's fell plot.

It's not the working-ness I'm interested in. I mean, LOOK at it. This is Sci-Fi High Style. Great on the coffee table or mantel. The things are usually blue, so this neutral grey will go with almost any color scheme. I could even download all the Auditing questions, print 'em, and Clear all my friends and relations, for a nominal donation.

It could be a ministry...yeah, that's the ticket!

That, or it would look really cool on my desk next to SUPERCAR.

"Frugal" does not even begin....
