Okay, I know this post isn’t going to be up to our normal standards, but I really wanted to share with you guys something that is SOO weird!!

As few of you may know, today is World Hypnotism Day (weird in itself), and, naturally, some hypnotist decided it would be really cool to hypnotize as many people as possible via the Internet.

Also today, naturally, I was searching Weird News on AOL, when I came across Chris Hughes’ (the hypnotist–creepy, huh?) little endeavor to set the Guinness World Record for the most people hypnotized at one time.

(Read more about it here.)

I did some research, found the website that he planned to use for his hypnosis, and clicked on the link. There it was: the website…right in front of me…one click away.

Despite what the article above said about having to register for the hypnosis in advance, I discovered a new message displayed on Hughes’ website:

DUE TO SUDDEN LATE DEMAND, THE HYPNOTISM WILL NO LONGER OCCUR OVER LIVE STREAM AND REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED. PLEASE CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW TO PARTICIPATE.

My reaction:

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME.

I immediately stopped reading The Devil and Tom Walker (sorry, Mr. Fast), clicked the link, and followed Chris Hughes’ soothing voice.

Now that I just finished, I am so happy that I wasted 20 minutes of my life participating in this wacky endeavor. It was probably one of the weirdest experiences of my life.

Even though I wasn’t told to dance like a chicken or fall in love with a strawberry, I was in this weird, alert, sleep state. At one point, Hughes said to try to open my eyes, and I literally couldn’t! I tried so hard to open them, but they were glued shut.

Then he counted slowly to five, and I was wide awake! Now I feel really alert and relaxed. Anyway, it was just really weird.

And why am I telling you this?

Because I want you to do it too!

It’s totally worth it, so please give it a shot.
