On the Effectiveness of Aluminium Foil Helmets

[doublejay]

An Empirical Study (http://people.csail.mit.edu/rahimi/helmet/)

[zenwood]

It appears they form a resonant cavity, just like a microwave oven!

Take 'em off dudes: the government is frying yer brains!!:eek::eek::eek:

[keith53]

Bit of a worry isn't it? Who'd have thought, eh? I'm going back to stuffing steel wool under my beanie :D

[craigb]

So that's what 's wrong with Al.

He's been wearing his beanie too long. :eek:

[bitingmidge]

Either the results are faked and a set up by the Government to trick us into taking off our hats, which is an indicator that aliens have infiltrated the highest levels of the establishment, :eek: :eek: :eek:

OR

Lyle Zapato, is an alien plant, and has been deliberately foiling us.

Either way, we need some advice from Boban as to whether there is grounds for a class action.

For me, I'll keep wearing mine. IF they are reading my mind and making notes, they'll be pretty confused little puppies I have to tell you!!

Cheers,

P:D

Lyle Zapato, is an alien plant
Like the one in The Little Shop of Horrors? Do you think he eats people? Maybe the foil is to stop the brain from overcooking in the microwave?

Thanks for the explanation Midge, I was about to take my foiley off and risk being laughed at by my colleagues. You have saved me from that embarrassment, again thankyou.

The big mistake those yank testers made was to allow the alfoil to crinkle, thus forming little microwave antennae of various frequencys.
If you pay close attention to our beloved "Master of the Foilie," you will notice that he has his foilie as smooth as possible, thus avoiding any receptor frequencies.
He's a smart man our Al.:D

Wonder if I can get a $1,000,000,000 Government grant to carry out the tests here?:D

Give it a go, I've seen them give out money for things a lot more ridiculous than a study of foilies.;)

Stutter be damned, just reduce the repeat speed on your keyboard.:D

Errrr! .
That should be
"SSSSSSSStttttttttttttttttttttuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttteeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr". "Stutter" has three "t"s.

What I want to know is,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Can I wear an old aluminium saucepan on my head in place of a foily? Does a foily have special characteristics?
I would look sooooooooo silly with a foily on my head.

If it works for you, then yes.
