Magic water: Masaru Emoto

Those of you who follow the queer universe may already know about this guy:
Masaru Emoto (born July 22, 1943) is a Japanese author and entrepreneur, who claims that human consciousness has an effect on the molecular structure of water. Emoto's hypothesis has evolved over the years. Initially he believed that water takes on the "resonance" of the energy which is directed at it, and that polluted water can be restored through prayer and positive visualization. Emoto's work is widely considered pseudoscience, and he is criticized for going directly to the public with misleading claims that violate basic physics, based on methods that fail to properly investigate the truth of the claims.
Since 1999 Emoto has published several volumes of a work titled Messages from Water, which contains photographs of water crystals, and their accompanying experiments. Emoto's ideas appeared in the documentary "What the Bleep Do We Know!?".
 Here are some photos of water allegedly transformed by human consciousness:


A friend told me she and her husband had tried to replicate the results with no apparent change in the water. Since she is a big believer in the power of prayer, I have to think she was a bit disappointed.
