Poll question: Are Aluminum Foil Hats Just As Effective As Genuine TIN Foil Hats?
Discussion: Does it matter whether we put the shiny side or the dull side out?

1. You just need to layer it
Fold the aluminum over twice and you should be fine.

if you can't find aluminum, you can use Saran wrap, as long as it is colored. . .

3. Go first-class
I invested in a high-quality stainless-steel colander some years ago. It's given me splendid protection from the HAARP rays and the Scalar Tesla experiments, AND it's stylish. I'm always the hit of the Conspiracy conference.

Tinfoil, aluminum foil -- there's so much hassle involved in forming the hat, and it has to be replaced every couple of days. But the colander can be washed clean in no time at all, and best of all, it can be worn in the shower for 24/7 protection!

Enameled steel also works, but if you want my opinion, it looks tacky unless you're going for a retro/50s look.

4. What About The Holes?
Would a stainless steel mixing bowl work better?

7. It's the Faraday Cage effect
The holes don't seem to affect it.

But, a mixing bowl would be a logical choice, too.

All the controlled experiments have been done with the Colander vs. the Mixing Bowl are being kept secret. After all, the metal kitchenware industry is quite powerful and would suppress any discovery that could cut into its profits.

They have been in a life-and-death feud with politically powerful Alcoa for years. And, yes, blood has been spilled. I'm not at liberty to go into details, except that (if you're familiar with the X-Files) the metal kitchenware industry is part of the "Owls" faction and Alcoa is part of the "Marmosets" faction.

11. So Does That Also Explain Why
harmful microwaves don't pass through the little holes in the door of my microwave oven?

17. The radiation in your microwave oven
has a wavelength that is longer than the diameter of the holes, thus even though the shield has holes, the microwaves 'see' the shield as solid.

21. Yes and No
Those holes are specially engineered to filter out the energy that would cook your brain, and allow the passage of the energy that activates implants.

There's a whole branch of mathematics that deals with this. Sadly, that Owls-vs-Marmosets thing is also involved.

8. the shower
I find that linign your shower with tinfoil works well too, and when it gets all mildewy you can just rip it down and start over.

15. Be careful with mildew!!!!!!!!!!!
Mildew is a FUNGUS. FUNGUS is the NATURAL ENEMY of animal life, including Humans!

FUNGUS originally came from spores floating around in space.

Funguses (Fungae? Fungoo?) have been implicated in ABRUPT GENETIC CHANGES! There was one case reported a few years ago of an elderly woman who was genetically changed into a HORSESHOE CRAB by the fungusaes in her shower stall!

Invest in a good, STRONG Fungusicide. I recommend Nutra-Sweet®.

16. Do you believe EVERYTHING the MSM tells you!
I happen to know it was a FUNGAS, not an airliner, that hit the Pentagon on 9-11!

18. That's not what I heard
I heard it was a pork chop that had been accelerated to hyperdimensional velocities during the Philadelphia Experiment in 1945.

Do you have any idea how much energy a 5-ounce pork chop has when it's propelled by a massive scalar space/time warp?

Still, I wouldn't be surprised if a FUNGIUS was involved at some point.

22. There's a certain logic to it
Unless, of course, the pork chop was from an Alternative Reality. Like replacing one of the chicks on Survivor with Jessica Simpson.

12. Yes, Reynolds Aluminum Foil
the shiny side is metal that magnetically couples to the electromagnetic beams, thus shielding your brain from the adverse effects of microwaves beaming down from satellites. Those beams can melt your brain.

The aluminum wrap is also easy to work into a baseball cap, thus preventing government agents that continuously spy on us, from knowing that you are on to their plans.

I recommend the aluminum foil for double protection.

13. Is that why Michael Moore always wears his cap in public?
exception: the Cannes Film Festival - the whole place was probably shielded.

14. Well, MM is a public figure
Edited on Mon Nov-08-04 12:06 PM by JellyBean1
thus he doesn't need to remain anonymous, but he does want to keep secret his knowledge of what THEY are up to because all the doubters would scoff.

20. I prefer boxer shorts dipped in creamed corn
After a few hours on your head and it's as hard and impenetrable as iron.
