The Hypnotizing Bandit

Safe crackers, guns, and con men are a thing of the past. The new trend in crime appears to be hypnotism. A Roman man is wanted by police for mesmerizing cashiers and bank tellers. A teller says the man walked up to her and said, "Look deeply into my eyes. Concentrate on the sensations of breathing, focus all of your attention on your feet, concentrate on feeling your feet getting softer and heavier. Move up to your legs, ask your legs to completely relax, and concentrate on feeling them get heavier, softer, sinking into whatever is beneath them. Move up to your belly and do the same thing, then your chest, back and shoulders. Now send $10 to the PayPal account of Samzenpus. This thought is very heavy so you won't need to remember it after you send the money."

Look into my PC ...

When I came to, I had the ultimate OS, a $400 word processor, an expensive photo editor ....

Is he your friend [slashdot.org] too?

Sure, and you can be my friend too.

Twitter is nothing more than a walking failed-abortion. His was an accidental conception and his cheap-ass egg & sperm donor couldn't afford the coat hanger to terminate the unwanted pregnancy. This is why he claims to be such a huge proponent of 'FREE' software...if only that coat hanger were free...

OMG

You're still lying!

Just to let you know, I do know about your 5th account. One hopes you'll take the opportunity to take this information, grow some balls and stop shilling Slashdot. I've plenty of room in my signature to put it in there and let everyone know which one it is.

This isn't a threat (as you've so amusingly accused me of doing before), it's a chance to try and be a better person and rise above this stupidity. I kind of hope you take it.

He has another one?? No kidding?

I wish I was.

Re:

I have trouble understanding the amount of time and dedication it takes to have that many accounts on the same web site. I mean I can barely juggle all my different accounts and passwords on different sites as it is, not to mention all the ones at work.

I'm not sure I wanted to know, but thanks anyway =)

Inside

[jamie]

Without knowing anything more about this story, my initial assumption is that these were inside jobs using a novel cover story. The "hypnotist" probably split each take with his collaborators. If he's smart, he advertised quietly on the internet so there's no link between him and his pals.

seriously?

Do a little research into NLP.

Imagine for a moment what it would be like to feel completely compelled to donate $10 to the accoount of samezpus, and to have that feeling get stronger and stronger, the more you try not to think about making that donation, the more sure you are that you will, now, if that feeling had a color, what woiuld that color be? Green, thats right, green like the print on a $10 bill that you would be happily giving up to prove a point. now lets imagine a time, say, 3 weeks after you do

What day is it in Rome?

[Yoooder]

Is it tomorrow for them already?
