Never tried it.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Paging Khemikal: Here is again my definition and four examples of what is existence:

 [...]

   This is an invitation for us all who are keen to know what is existence, what is a scientist, and does God exist, God from my part, in concept as first and foremost the creator cause of everything with a beginning, for us all to collaborate to resolve the meanings of existence, scientist, and God.

   From my part, existence is the reality which reality is the object of a living man having awareness, i.e. being conscious of his experiencing the presence of the said object.

   An example of existence is our nose.

   Another example of existence is the computer monitor screen we are looking at to read this post.

   A third example of existence is the rose in our flower garden.

   A fourth example of existence is the sun in the day sky and the moon in the night sky.

   What do you say, guys here: Do you have your idea of what is existence?

I notice you have not explained what you mean by sensory apparatus.
I've explained it twice..and you've used your own sensory apparatus to respond to me more than twice.  You don't seem to need anything explained to you, are you out of gas?

If you really missed it, it's probably time to see an optometrist, who will explain more to you about your sensory apparatus.....but we both know you have the internet..so howsabout you google it, and get on with not getting on with it?

Oh, okay, so we're just listing things that exist. We could do that all day. What's the point?

There's too much fail here for you. First of all, God does not meet your definition of existence, and yet you declare as a theist.

Second, my monitor is NOT an object of your living awareness. You assume both that I exist and my monitor, but what ACTUALLY exists for you by your definition is just some text on your own screen.

So really, your definition of awareness is either inaccurate or a lie. The real definition is: "That exists which Mariosep believes exists." This is a particularly poor definition of existence, especially for non-Marioseps.

The eventual point is that things exist as experiences, Mario says he experiences the divine, and so God is real.

. . . and also that I've actually had sex with Tomb-raider era Angelina Jolie, since I've experienced imagining that many times.

That's a prophecy, by the way.

No point to make Stim.
