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

    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.

    The only time I've had static problems kilted is when I've worn a cotton or cotton/poly sweater with a wool kilt. Maybe I'll have to try putting a small safety pin in the waistband of my kilt next time.

    Well, at least no one bit me during the group hug this time.

    Hey! Who's hand was that!
