Double, Triple NO! Pulse & Glide saves gas.

Amazing what some people will try to pass off...

As a side note, i love how they tried to pass it off with the commonly seen vortex when draining something... The vortex forms because of the design of the sink/bathtub whatever, not because it's the quickest path... morons :-p

ROFLOLMFG!!

Laser cut!! HA HA HA! It looks like a piece of aluminum chimney pipe that's been cut with shears and bent sloppily by hand.

If these people didn't haven their heads so far up their asses they'd know that the shortest path for air/water/whatever from one place to another is a straight line, not a spiral.

Pfft!

If I send you a post dated, 3rd party, Western Union wire for $6,400.00 from Botswana - can you give me 100 times Bill's mileage and send me a cashier check for $3,000.00?

PS - You may have already won big prizes!

Absolutely! But don't send the check - instead, let me give you my account and routing numbers so that I can claim my inheritance from my unknown Botswanian relative. After all, you were able to find me on the Internet, you must be legitimate.
