    Yes....

    As an operator of aforementioned satellites I can assure you that the foil has no effect on your readability.

    Beanie propeller colour should, naturally, be white for a white tie event unless you are wearing a squirting boutonnière in which case it should match that. [the pull string should be routed behind your bluetooth headset]

    I saw Farlanders post and my eye saw Faraday who is one of the pioneers of electricity static and otherwise.

    As someone has stated the safety pin and other metal objects on the cloth would to some extent act as a "lightning rod" for the static buildup.

    Ya, but Faraday was into looking at rainbows in waterfalls, so are we really being "read" or are we reading that we are "being" read? Are we not all part of the grand lobotomy? Does not every rearview mirror need a red-rubber-jiggly Gumby dangly from it?

    No, no, I think you mean Michael The Farlander is into looking at rainbows. Michael Faraday was definitely the 19th century electromagnetism and electrochemistry expert. (I am pretty sure we are completely different folks)

    No! I am absolutely sure that Michael Faraday was into looking at rainbows in waterfalls. Especially when the wind was blowing through the water and making the rainbow disappear then reappear... Why else would he have a red-rubber-jiggly Gumby hanging from his rearview mirror!?

    I think we all need another group hug.

    Doesn't this depend on which end of one's body one does one's thinking from?

    Ever bite into a piece of aluminum foiol and get that electric feeling in your teeth? That's proof of something or another.

    Be aware that this is a good idea, although it is an entirely different conspiracy. (Although I suspect they are linked somehow. I just haven't discovered the link yet.)

    Someone in the shadow government is beaming different forms of radiation at our reproductive organs in an attempt to cause different mutations in future generations. To what end I have not yet discovered. The only defense against this is to shield oneself with multiple layers of aluminum foil.

    Oh, look at the shiny black van outside. I wonder what they want. Oh no, it's them; they've discovered my hideout. I've got to get out of here.

    Readers of this forum: The one you knew as davedove can no longer make posts to this thread. He has gone on "vacation" for an undetermined length of time until he is completely reeducated ... um...I mean sufficiantly relaxed, at which time he will return to the forum.

    You really need real 'Tin' foil, not that aluminium stuff. As it happens I 'ave a large supply of this rare material on hand. It is only $100 per 8 inch by 8 inch square. And for the really hard to shield, we have lead foil as well. It takes an exceptionally bright individual to need this though, most folks do not radiate enough intelligence to require it.

    I stole that quote from Riverkilt over in the "Alexander Graham Bell"'s birthday thread, and thought it somehow fit in this one...
