She went on to say that it was "The book to make beginners computer experts" I tried to explain to her it was a fake and it didn't exist, but she got mad at me and told me I didn't know what I was talking about. So I sent her to the bookstore down the road... The book in the picture was "Monkey Spanking for Dummies" if you google it you can find the photo.

I've been ticked by the gushing articles on Moller's aircar in Popular Science and the like since the '70s. Why the SEC or some state or investors haven't strung him up is beyond me...

That ought to fit in pretty well under the Fake Product category I'd think, as he's been taking investors' money for decades and has yet to build a working prototype. True, he's got a couple of machines off the ground, but nothing living up to his hype. What about the Moeller AirCar?
