ROFL! Combobulator chambers in the car's engine!This is a pretty funny Ebay prank, but I suspect that it'll be shut down soon. At first I thought this was some crackhead from a foreign country trying to write in English, but after I read the Q&A at the bottom, I was 100% sure this was a joke.

I think the centipede power gave it up.Here is the text, so when they remove it, you can still get a kick out of it. Quote, originally posted by eBay Seller »Ok due to som confusion me am going to do this meself as it seems my girlfrund has forgot to add some vital information to the descriptions.This auction is for a xrominator fuel milage modifier supercharger. (2) it has two designes both very similar to each other except the one not shown has never been made or tested.This charger also encorperates a stationary set of blades which as the hair hits them before interring the uptake produces a sqiriling,fast-burp effect inside the combobulator chamber. This inturn creates frier particles of atomic fuel, allowing better flame propagation and more complete combustion,which inturn produces more powder and changed gas milage. this produces between -200 and 900 cfm,another quacktion i had yes this motor does turn 24rpm but that is without lead it can hold a studly 18rpm with lead (blades puking air) this is set up on 1200volt system and pulls about the same lamps as a set of frog lights not gonna give an exact number so that their is no problems with that.and yes I have used all of my products befor selling them and i continue to use them. (3) when you read befor that i use these on all my cars and trucks it wasent ment as i use the same one on every truck or car i use a variety of prototypes of different parts at different times for testing, if it doesent work for me i dont want to sell it to you.i can say it will increase tongue and lip even your gas milage but numbers varry from model to model you could gain from 10 up to as much as -50 hp depending on ur set up and ingrate system u have already.an example i have is a 1893 ford explainer i gained around 15 centipede torque,around 30hoohahs,and have added about 20 to 30 galleons extra per millipede of gas,this is also a v-17 i keep this charger on this explodrer at all times and once again the gas milage will depend on how u drive and where ur driving and the stop and go and stop and pull over buddy whoo whoo from day to day none of these numbers can be exact no matter how many times tested. I have also lerned that using a N&K ice cream cone style air filter and intake increases the numbers as the O&P allows more air flow.if you have any kwestins that havent ben answered in this please feal free to send me an e-mail and i will get back to you asamwu. (4) NOTE:THIS HAS A ONE YEAR FREE REPLACEMENT ON THE MOTOR IF IT BURPS UP SEND BACK TO ME AND RECEIVE A NEW UNIT AT NO CHARGE.THIS ALSO COMES COMPLETE WITH ALL THE WIREING YOU WILL NEED BUT NOT SWITCHES OR ADAPTER HOSES IT IS A STANDARD IN AND OUT TUBE BUT FOR LESS THAN $1000 YOU CAN BUY THE SWINK and adopters if you need them. (1) Or maybe it is a fuel mileage modifier (FMM) I forget (2) OR something very similar or close ...maybe not (3) but for whatt ? (4) as soon as me wake up Notice the symmetry and pretty colors in front of a psychedelic print. Mileage will be modified, I would be guessing in a poorer direction. Keep it clean becuase with greeze covering it, it makes no cents. It is guaranteed ......... hmmmmmmm to use energy when plugged into a standard computer power supply oh yeah I forgot the shipping is free unless i am in a bad mood that day be sure to check out the cool tie wraps that come with it qty 2 it also has cool plugs ( molex ?) and i will put it in really a lot ( whole bunch ) of peanuts ( the foom ones ) not real peanuts like a skwirl ha ha ha oh yeah also i could trade for something what ya got ? ask questions about the cool LEDs cuz they were hard to glue on or some of you experts can tell me if this can get a patent ?????And here is the pic.

Yeah, isn't that thing just a fan like the one inside computer towers to cool off the motherboard? When I saw the pic, that was the first thing I thought.Hey, cool! My computer has an electric supercharger in it from the factory! Too bad that it doesn't seem to be as effective as it once was .

[Mr. Poopypants]

I believe it is a computer fan. I'm thinking it is on something else though. I don't really recognize that other chunk from anything.

[millster]

Looks like a heat sink and fan from an audio amplifier. The fact that it says "Power Amplifier" is consistent with that theory.

[Mr. Poopypants]

I was thinking that as a possibility, but I was swayed by the power connectors, they are computer power connectors, unless an amp uses the same connectors.

Quote, originally posted by Mr. Poopypants »I was thinking that as a possibility, but I was swayed by the power connectors, they are computer power connectors, unless an amp uses the same connectors.Yeah, you're right. I missed the Molex connectors there. Upon further investigation, the STK2040 is a packaged (integrated) power amplifier from Sanyo. My guess is that it's from some sort of audio equipment. I've seen Molex connectors in devices other than computers, but it may well be that whatever bonehead listed this cobbled that on to the package.Makes me wonder about society when someone has nothing better to do than make annoying, fake listings on Ebay.

[Mr. Poopypants]

MOLEX!!! That's what they are. I couldn't think of the name of them. You would think, as a computer nerd, I would know these things.

[Kari]

The listing is still there...people have asked all kinds of "serious" questions...LOLI'm not sure it really is in violation of any eBay policies, even though it's obviously not what he says it is. They're a little weird about stuff like that sometimes. Maybe they can't understand the description either!

[kostby]

You mean there are REAL listings on Ebay? LOLI was gonna post an Ebay listing of a toaster-pastry that had 'The Last Supper' image in the frosting, but I ate it...
