A Japanese guru claims to have invented a mobile phone ring tone that can help women's breasts to grow bigger. Hideto Tomabechi's Rockmelon tone registered more than 10,000 downloads in the first week alone. Tomabechi became famous helping members of the AUM Shinrikyo doomsday cult to return to normal life. He claims his ring tone has "sounds that make the brain and body move unconsciously". Tomabechio calls the subliminal breast booster a kind of "positive brainwashing" and says it draws on his teachings of the "powers of cognitive science". One satisfied user told Japanese media: "I listened to the tune for a week expecting all the time that I was being duped. But, incredibly, my 34-inch bust grew to 35 inches. It was awesome." Tomabechi says he's now planning other ring tones to help people quit smoking, combat baldness and attract a mate.

According to Ananova, anyway.

Gotta love them crazy Japs

Hmmm, maybe I could use that to convince son and grandpa to brush their teeth.

I used sugarwater with a little blue foodcoloring to help my daughter sleep when she was little. It's amazing how something works just because you believe it will.
