Baby Gender Predictor
Create a shed-load of cash by advertising in those little ads at the back of the News of The World by selling a "Unborn Baby Gender Predictor" for twenty quid with a "Money-Back Guarantee - if you're not satisfied then we'll return the whole cost".

Basically, send the buyers some 7.5p stuff that goes blue when wet and tell the knocked-up mother to piss on it. If it goes blue then you're going to have a boy!

Refund the 51% which are girls (if you're ever asked for the money back).

Pure 45% profit after postage and other shit!

Beautiful.........

(You may get arrested for fraud though, and have to do two years in chokey where big Dave asks every night if you want to be the man or the woman.)

Big Dave
So why is it always "Big Dave" who harasses convicts?
You'd better apologise, or I'll come round your house and fuck your arse.

Dawkins mentions this in Unweaving the Rainbow (which is about debunking paranormal bollocks).
(Though I can't remember if he came up with this or if he's quoting someone else.) He says you could make a nice little earner by advertising your patent formula that promises to make your baby a boy for £500, and advertise a money-back guarantee plus £250 on top of that if your baby is born a girl. Since boys turn up on 50% of occasions anyway, you'll make a profit.

mmm
would it not be better to charge 50 quid for the baby predictor and simply include a small disclaimer at the bottom of the predictor instruction kit/terms and conditions that in effect the baby predictor kit is not guaranteed to be 100% effective, and an incorrect result voids any guarantees in place on the product at time of purchase, your consumer rights are unaffected.
