Okay, I'll probably get email asking "why the hell are you giving investment picks on RPGnet", and asking what connection this possible has to 'projects by RPGnet people'. The short answer is "I pay US taxes so they are sort of an RPGnet person, and I just found out the US gov't has a gamer's sense of humor about some things". If you follow the McWhortle link to Invest Now in them, you'll see a very cool FTC gambit-- consider it real-world cyberpunk larping. And there are 7 other hoaxes still out there...

	About Us Testimonials Invest Now Press		McWhortle Enterprises, Inc. McWhortle Enterprises is an established and well-known manufacturer of biological defense mechanisms. Fortune 500 companies routinely use McWhortle Defense systems to protect their far-flung executives living in dangerous areas. These discreet, confidential safeguards have for years given employees and their families peace of mind. Now, for the first time, McWhortle Enterprises is offering a product to the general public: the new Bio-Hazard Alert Detector. Running quietly on two double-A batteries, the Bio-Hazard Alert Detector emits an audible beep and flashes when in the presence of all known bio-hazards. The Bio-Hazard Alert Detector, measuring only 3 by 7 inches, is small enough to slip into a man's jacket pocket, a woman's purse or a child's backpack. The Bio-Hazard Alert Detector works by detecting microscopic levels of hazardous bio-organisms and deadly virus organisms. It can detect even the finest-milled, weapons-grade biohazards from 50 feet, long before the risk of inhalation or cutaneous infection, by testing for the distinctive surface leptins. When equipped with a patented McWhortle computer micro-chip, the Alert Detector has a proven effectiveness of just .02 microns per cubic meter of air. The Bio-Hazard Detector gained instant acceptance in all test markets, which were spread throughout the Midwest. Within hours the product sold out of each store, with no advertising and only word-of-mouth endorsement within each community. Stock prices have soared as the markets have recognized the huge potential of the Detector for combating virus-borne illness world-wide. Want to know more? Click here.
