The following video is NOT for the feint of heart. Not. If your hear is feint, go away. Now. I am not kidding. You have been warned.
Obviously, the rocking chair is going to move. But notice that the clothing (at least I think it is clothing, not a person) on the bed to the right is moving a little the whole time. Also, the rocking chair is moving, I think, almost imperceptibly. Is there a string attached to it?
YES! Send me a free issue of Seed.
If I like what I see, I'll receive 5 more issues (6 in all) for just $14.95. That's 50% off the cover price! If I'm not completely satisfied, I'll simply write "cancel" on the invoice and owe nothing. The free issue is mine to keep.

I didn't look. I've seen this one before. I REFUSE TO LOOK. You can't make me look.

"Feint" is for fencers and Heidelberg duelists.
I think you mean "faint". ;-)

No, feint. You have to be able to duck.
(whatever)

Yeah, Linda Blair was a scary looking thing before she discovered Clearasil, wasn't she?

Feint or faint, it made my Labrador retriever run from the bedroom to the front door of the house, to investigate and bark.

The cats are still on the ceiling.

Okay, that made me jump!

Thanks for the warning! But this video is much scarier.

GAH! Oy. Years of credulous terror were just revisited all at once.

I'd like to know why, even when you know perfectly well it's a screamer, you still jump when it screams. Damn things!

Since the chair twists slightly when it moves, it's clearly got a string attached to the right (back) side of it. I say it's a fake.
