Ya gotta stop chewing those Penguin mints while you work. We used to do that trick years ago -- we'd set somebody up by telling them that Post Grape Nuts (or some other crunchy food) had an electrical charge that damaged computer monitors, and they should be careful when eating certain foods while at the computer keyboard. Then we'd insist they try it and, of course, the monitor would flicker -- the harder the food, the worse the distortion. Some folks never figured out that it was their sensory system that was affected by the crunching. It's still a cool trick, though.
