Speaking of remotes...

[Mark R]

I've heard about this for years.  Holding the remote to your chin does
work... yet nobody I've heard has an actual scientific reason.  The closest
I've heard is something about the hollow bone in your chin acting as a
rudimentary antenna.  Being a non-believer, back in college I tried it with
several cars (I think all aftermarket alarms at the time).  And the chin
thing did increase the sight range approximately 10%
(frankly, we didn't measure exactly... but did "pace off" the distance).
Whenever my Clifford alarm's battey got low, I couldn't lock the car from my
porch.  But holding it to my chin did it every time.

And it bugs me to this day that nobody has proven to me WHY this occurs.
Anybody got a PHD is biophysics and waveforms?
