Let's not forget the updated version called CRANK. It's fairly complex,
but I'll summarize and simplify it for the lay public:
1. Take one Fiesta, Sprint, Mini, or other teeny-tiny auto, modify it to
attain light speed.
2.CRANK IT UP.
3. Fly it to the nearest Black Hole, remain on the outer edge only,
since entry will cause drastic reduction in body fat volume, which may be
unhealthy.
4. Eat as much as you want of whatever you want, for as long as you want.
5. Return to Earth (leave the car hidden, it will be embarrassingly outdated).
You will appear to be younger than your chronological age, and will have
lost a seemingly infinite amount of weight compared to your in-flight
mass, regardless of your diet!
I guarantee that if you follow this diet, the results will astound you!
