I'm totally fascinated with the Wii Vitality Sensor. The Wiimote add-on was announced at Nintendo's E3 press conference as a way for your Wii to monitor your relaxation and pulse rate in order to, perhaps, help gamers relax and sleep. No one know when it's going to be available, or what kind of games it will work with, but an Australian newspaper's website points out that the gadget could be used as a home lie detector... interesting, but I'd like to propose a different, more ludicrous, theory.

The Vitality Sensor measures skin conductance,  fluctuations in the electrical conductivity of skin, and these fluctuations in conductivity correlate with changes in emotions, such as experiencing fear, anger and desire. That's how polygraphs work, but it's also, basically, how Scientology's E-meter  functions.

While the Australian paper imagines Nintendo releasing truth-or-dare style games, as well as the possibility of using your Wii for "catching out a child's fibs" or "revealing a partner's infidelities." My (totally unfounded) theory: The Vitality Sensor can be used as a home Scientology auditing kit.

One of the main tools of L. Ron Hubbard's religion is called the E-Meter, and it too measures your skin's electrical resistance. But while the Wii Vitality Sensor is designed to help you relax and play games, the E-Meter is designed to help you clear your psyche of troubling memories, both from this life and the lives you've lived before (reportedly). Is it too much of a stretch to propose that Nintendo is working in concert with the Church of Scientology in order to bring an E-Meter into every Nintendo gamer's home, and thus clear the earth of the powerful forces of oppression Scientology works so hard to combat? Probably, but still, if the Scientologists haven't already started developing WiiWare E-Meter auditing software, they're missing a golden opportunity here.

Also: Below is a photo of John Travolta (OT III)  using an E-Meter to conduct his False Purpose Rundown Counseling. Travolta's intensive Scientology training presumably allowed the actor to excel in his many and varied film roles.
