Bustin' Makes Me Feel Good!

With apologies to Ray Parker, Jr., and the rest of the Ghostbusters crew. One of my colleages found a news blurb about a cool new toy, the Ghost Radar:

Forget the billiard table casket thing, I want a spectre detector for my birthday! It's not cheap -- though it is much less expensive than the Manhattan casket -- and it is so much more portable. Just plug it into a USB port and start your search for the paranormal. The Ghost Radar is supposed to beep and flash red lights in response to unusual magnetic waves. The light pattern will indicate:
  1. How close the ghost is (but not its exact location).
  2. Whether the ghost can move.
  3. How much of an effect it can have on people.
I would love to sweep St. Peter's Basilica with this little gizmo. Or maybe the White House. Nah, that would be too scarey. Linkage:
