Are tin foil hats effective?

[TimoS]

A group of MIT students (at least I think they were students) tested the effectiviness of tin foil hats

I especially like their conclusions :lol:

Too funny!

The scary part is, at least a couple of the foil-helmet crew will read this spoof and believe it!

I have a feeling I'd like those guys if we ever met.

Of course he says that tinfoil hats don't work. Thats just what They want you to believe.

They especially work well on potatoes...

It's very important to arrange the foil properly; the shiny side must be out. (If the shiny side is in, not only will intrusive thoughts and signals enter -- they will then be reflected within the brain.)

And see this. They are among the best prepared.

Absolutely words of wisdom here!

Yes, but I was absolutely... um, crushed... to read there that

"Beer can hats", though made out of aluminum cans, are not as effective as an AFDB since they have gaps inbetween the cans. You may, however, line a beer can hat with an AFDB or even glue the cans directly on an AFDB.​

What do I do now?? Half my closet shelving is taken up with beer-can AFDBs!!

Still, it was a relief, and a big one, to find out that

Painting your AFDB won't degrade its abilities, so you can be mentally safe AND color-coordinated too! ​

Whew!

PS Great hat, Brian!

PPS Note to BH: We have to have that AFDB emoticon shown on the first page of the site added to our list of smilies!

Thanks Exile, I have been concerned for a while now regarding the GAWD Emperors mental telepathic powers. Hence the tinfoil hat whilst reading MartialTalk! :rofl:

H'mmm...

Could that be the real reason why MT becomes so addictive?

Where's my foil... Need to make a beanie.
