But a recent revelation threatens to explain the phenomena once and for all and amazingly it all started in a long back garden in London England!

There - two DJ's with an astronomical bent (who coincidentally are called Luminous Frenzy!) built a machine the details of which are a closely guarded secret.

"We called it the Parallel-Uni-Orgasm" said Frank Frenzy who had the idea one night when he was cooking carrot and coriander soup.

"It came to me in a flash of inspiration, and I was able to buy the parts the next day from my local Maplins store, I showed the plans to Louise Luminous and she assembled it in a couple of hours, she's great at that kind of thing - she can even do IKEA furniture."

But how does it all work? A simple explanation is that the PUO machine enables the users to see into parallel universes. Frank explains:

"I tested the machine and found out that I could photograph myself in many different parallel universes living many different lives. For example in the photo you can see me working as a bouncer refusing to let people with learning difficulties into a nightclub. Yet in the universe we consider "real" I work for a charity that promotes exactly the opposite - we run clubs for people with learning difficulties!"

Luminous Frenzy realised then that they were onto something. They finally had proof that people are all living many different lives in many different but parallel universes. So what's next for the inventors?

Louise says: "The next step is to develop the machine so that you can transport between parallel universes. If you are unhappy with your lot in this universe why not try another? We hope to be able to offer people the chance to make the ultimate lifestyle change. Once we have perfected the technique we will be auctioning it on ebay - so watch this space."
