Sorry...The Tin Foil Hats Won't Help...

Well, we’ve got some bad bad news for the paranoid (isn’t it always?): that snazzy collection of tin foil hats you keep, for those rare events that draw you from the relative safety of your bunker in Idaho and into the dangerous outdoors, aren’t doing much good protecting you from the deathly radiation that permeates the air.

[Ulysses]

Not only do they not help, but they may actually amplify the very frequencies you're trying to avoid!

[SIDENET]

How did they know about my bunker?

[Halfmanhalfamazing]

I was about to say, whenever I put on an aluminum foil cap it makes me feel giddy.

I knew something was going on!

[TheForceOfOne]

Tin foil is old technology.

I crushed glass 10 mirrors and glued it to a scuba diving outfit.

I reflect everything! bah ha ha ha!

Listen in to Mars on yer tinfoil hat!

The people who wear their tin foil hats to increase the reception, already know this.

[Flintlock]

Everybody should have one.
Re: THE HAT--Yours will not work well unless it is properly GROUNDED. If not grounded, it MAY just amplifly the radio waves depending on your personal frequency AND size of your head. Larger head sizes will respond to the lower frequencies and vice versa. A wire (straightened coathanger will do) MUST run from the hat to the sole of your foot. Right foot for right-handers, left for left.
Note that deep-pile carpet or vinyl tile will reduce the grounding effects.

That's because you can't get TIN foil anymore; it's all that aluminum stuff. The government bought up all the tinfoil and has it stashed where we can't find it!

So you mean I'm really screwed now?????

tinfoil bump!

I love that scene of the three of them sitting there looking like human chocolate Kisses.

[verity]

They used an Aluminum foil tracking device.

[Waverunner]

I've fired up the mind control ray on my black flying saucer.
Who revealed the fact that tin foil hat's increase the effect of my ray?!!!
It was one of our most closely guarded secrets.
We must have hearings and indict someone!!!
Remember

( and i don't mean Hubert Humphrey )
darn the ray's not working
send in the Fembots

LOL!

Lead foil will block all frequencies, though. Give it a try, if your tin foil is no longer effective.
