Amusing.
I await the avalanche of compliments or diatribe....
A friend of mine ran the local university hyperbolic chamber for many years. It was used for divers having the bends and some specialized healing situations.
It is **not **new!
Their chamber could hold a number of people but had to be used very carefully for a number of medical reasons...One of which is that higher levels of oxygen can actually be corrosive on the body.
@how, er....
No, he ran the HyperbARIC chamber.
"Hyperbole' (pronounced Hi-per-bolly) is a figure of speech in which exaggeration is used for emphasis or effect. And the linked article is absolutely chock-a-block with them...
@federica.
Thanks for the save again
But didn't you think that "hyperbolic" better described their ad?
Not that this means I can actually spell worth a sh-t.
Oops! I just now notice my misspelling in the thread title. Aw well.
That had to have been the most hilarious, riotous, and thigh-slappingest excuse for a scientific time and money wasting piece of nothing whatsoever I have known the leg-pulling Onion to have ever published in their illustrious history of parody I've ever seen.
Well done @Hamsaka
Done.
That's my purpose in life. To put the glaring mistakes, faux-pas and disastrous errors of others, right.
(That was a joke. But I'm here to help.
