What is the white thing on that informercial psychic Gary Spivey's head?

Click here to tell me what you think it is.

My friends, Web visitors and I have come up with a few ideas, but no one knows for sure. Some of the ideas include:

  • It cannot be denied... Gaze into it's hypnotic power. Do his evil bidding! Become one with the white thing! Shave your head! Kill your family! The white thing commands you! WorryDoll

  • A lemming, reading to him from a book called "You and Your Head Growth, A Guide To Cosmic Utopia." Carmel

  • It's either a cat, or a wad of fur that looks like a cat. Cindy Baumohl

  • I think the parapsychic doesn't just have something in his head, but also some strange senses like eyes or skin. Sometimes I feel that I can read into peoples' minds. Sometimes it seems that I can also feel peoples' feelings. Is it true that the parapsychic only has something in his head that makes him different? Lim S K

  • Do you really have to ask, and are you sure you wanna know? Lucy In The Sky

  • Horsey Sauce. Carrie and Jen

  • He was walking down the street one day when someone threw their chewing gum out their car window. Unable to pull it out and too vain to cut it out, he left it there. And it's been there ever since, plotting with a bunch of guys in trenchcoats to add a mind control ingredient to Cheez Whiz so they can force everyone in the world to do their bidding ... or maybe the spot is just a skunk sitting on his head. Rachel "A. Weirdo" Green

  • It's one of Dr. Cecil Jacobson's under-developed children. Jerry Caiafa

  • I think it's a metal plate that aliens inserted into his head during an abduction when he was in his early 20's. Erica Mattia

  • It's A Psychic Crash Helmet (TM), he wears it because he has a habit of drinking and projecting. It's a fiberglass composite with sculpted padding. Mike Sweeney

  • It's a secret Illuminati cover-up ... Gary Spivey is actually an automaton that was designed by the Illuminati to obtain a hold on Switzerland's multi-quadrillion dollar watch industry. What the white thing actually is: A control box for all Swiss watches in the world ... unfotunately this must be completely composed of rotten Swiss cheese. But on a hot day his head makes one great sandwich! Kheldar

  • Obviously, he was walking through a cave with only a Bic lighter to guide him, when suddenly his lighter died and now blind, he tripped over the bones of a big dead rat and hit his head on the cave floor, which coincidently was covered in a bat guano. Ergo, the big white thing is really a smather of bat turd. Zakko

  • He was a cat in a previous life, therefore, it's an odd ball of yarn. El Juno

  • Big, undispersed fluid blob of Jeri-Curl. Steve Smith

  • It's nothing. A camera flash. An illusion. Karen

  • He was walking through a cave with only a Bic lighter to guide him, when suddenly his lighter died. Now unable to see, he tripped over the bones of a big dead rat and hit his head on the cave floor, which coincidently was covered in a bat guano.

  • A Chia Pet glued to the skull. Sammy Sabine

  • Brain. Mary

  • You know those cans of spray-on hair? I think he just wanted to make sure he used the whole can and didn't waste any. Jordan Myers

  • Money ! and then... Money. Anonymous

  • I don't think there is anything wrong with his head. It's just that the whole picture is seen through a cockroach's eyes using infrared eyeglasses. (Now that I come to think of it, watching the different light intensities at the region of Gary's brain, it appears to me that he may have been lobotomized). George

  • It's that plastic material bad doormats are made from ... or maybe it's where he hides his headphones during psychic readings. Tina

  • He was having a bad hair day, and used a little too much hair mousse and cannot wash it out. Kate

  • It is either the source of all peace and love, or his personal slime mold experiment. AsylumGrfx

  • It used to be hair, but it has mutated. Bob

  • It is "Potted Meat Product." They actually sell this stuff. I learned about it from Dave Barry. Emma

  • I think it is a large cantaloupe that has started to rot. I believe he was hit with it, causing him to develop psychic abilities. He keeps it on his head for fear of losing those powers. Anonymous

  • He has Chia hair. Jacob B. Schwartz

  • I believe it is thermonuclear insulation that has been perfected by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers in conjunction with the covert Air Force Project Blue Book staff. If Gary were ever to cross beyond the international dateline going west, all citizens of the world would be in mortal danger. Bob Springer

  • It's either what you see when you cut open a golf ball, or it's that parasite from the Amazon jungle that enters through your feet when you wade through dirty water, then makes its way up through your body, chewing through the top of your head, and lies there, waiting for a mate. Randy W. Hogan

  • It's my family's dead Aunt Martha. We lost her two years ago. Make him give her back. 17asDOLC@as16.og437.charleston.af.mil

  • It is a big yellow bus on a door. galileo@grits.valdosta.peachnet.edu

  • It's a horrible science experiment gone wrong. It seems Mr. Spivey went to see our other informercial hack, Sy Sperling, and agreed to an experimental treatment. The treatment included sticking his head into a cotton candy machine to achieve that wispy look so common to older men. Mike Hovland

  • Bad juju. Charles S. Nacol

  • It's obviously a large mass of Spanish moss. This particular type of moss only hangs from dead truncks and dead limbs, like Spivey's head. brink@iquest.com

  • It's obviously where Spam comes from. SmokeStorm@aol.com

  • I believe the whole effect was *done with mirrors* and represents the pin-hole in his head, leaking *cosmic truth.* romer001@mc.duke.edu

  • Maybe it's his brain trying to get out. Yuck. gmrk2593@fcee.ucp.pt

  • It's a deceased poodle Steve

  • Very good special effects Natalia
