Off topic I know, but I will make it beer related.

Have you all heard of this drinkable sunscreen stuff? Just heard about it on the "news" then looked it up further to see what the heck they are talking about.

Product page: http://www.osmosisskincare.com/HarmonizedWater-UV.aspx
The british skin type place notes on it http://www.bad.org.uk/for-the-public/skin-cancer/drinkable-sunscreen
pretty much explains it. The stuff is 100% water that 'vibrates' above your skin (after drinking it, how the heck does that work?) to break down the UVA/B waves. Maybe we should brew up a sunscreen lawnmower beer. That way you can drink it while mowing and not get burned. (See? I made it beer related)

Dad-gum new agey crystals and auras and frequencies jack-assery. Would be cool if something like this existed, but WTH?

Now, lets see if someone can take the old PABA pills and make them work with the more cancery UV rays.

I bet they make a killing with this expensive bottled water. Damned snake oil salesmen. They deserve to use a lifetime supply of their own product.

"We strongly advise people not to rely on such unproven methods and to continue to protect their skin from the UK’s most common cancer type, skin cancer, by using traditional, topically applied sunscreens, clothing and shade."

I have this new crystal sunscreen to sell. You wave the quartz crystal 3 inches over your skin, no more, no less. Three inches shall be the distance thou shalt count away from your skin, and the number of the counting inches shall be three. Four inches shalt thou not count, neither count thou two inches, excepting that thou then proceed to three inches. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third inch, be reached, then puttest thou sunscreen crystal away, which, being finished , shall snuff the sun.

What of I carry the crystal in my pocket? On a locket? Tucked inside my eyeball socket?

No, you cannot carry it there. It can't just be tucked anywhere. It must be carefully secured someplace rather more absurd.
The magic crystal travels inside an unborn weasel's well-tanned hide.
