Pasalininic-Sympathetic Compass

Pasalininic-sympathetic compass From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The pasilalinic-sympathetic compass, also referred to as the snail telegraph, was a device built to test the hypothesis that snails create a permanent telepathic link when they mate. The device was developed by French occultist Jacques-Toussaint Benoît (d'Herault), with the supposed assistance of an American colleague, Monsieur Biat-Chrétien[2][note 1] in the 1850s. The hypothesis Benoît claimed that when snails mate,[3] an etheric escargotic fluid forms a permanent telepathic link between them. This fluid forms an invisible thread that keeps the snails in "sympathetic communication" by using animal magnetism similar to an electric current pulsating along it.[4] They claimed that this method would work instantly, wirelessly, over any distance, and be more reliable than a telegraph.[4][5] This was not the first attempt to create a form of sympathetic communication. There are stories of Rosicrucians cutting pieces off the flesh of their arm and transplanting it with another person, with the alphabet tattooed on the flesh. By using a magnetized needle to prick the letters they wished to communicate, telepathy would be achieved. It was upon these stories that Benoît built his telegraph.[6][5] William Brooke O'Shaughnessy is one prominent telegrapher who experimented with using human skin to send and receive messages.[5]

The image is a mock Wikipedia article describing the fictional pasilalinic-sympathetic compass, supposedly a telegraph that lets mated snails communicate telepathically through an invisible etheric fluid. The joke comes from presenting absurd occult claims about snail mating, animal magnetism, tattooed human skin, and telepathy in the dry, authoritative style of an encyclopedia, making the nonsense look strangely scientific.
