Every once in a while, a piece of software comes along that captures my attention. Check out the Virtual Hypnotist:

Virtual Hypnotist is a free, open source, interactive hypnosis program, and is a rewrite of Hypnotizer 2000. It includes features such as voice recognition, speech synthesis, subliminal messages, completely customizable scripts (featuring a unique scripting language), videos, audio, and lots more. Its purpose is to simulate a real hypnosis session as much as possible.

I'm getting sleepy… very sleepy. I've tried to get hypnotized before, but hypnosis is lost on me. Software has tried to read my mind before, too – but my lead screen keeps 'em from seeing too much. Self-hypnosis isn't for me, though. It's hokey to believe that mind control can work. Hypnosis seems to be nothing more than a parlour trick – another subject matter for cassette tapes or CDs. And what happens when you get ripped off by a Hypnotherapist? You get hypnotherapissed.
Hey was that a bell…? Why am I drooling again?
