The reason tinfoil hats don't work!!!

[benburch]

The reason the tinfoil hats many of us seem to be wearing on some days don't work is because they are NOT made of Tin!!!

They are made of tempered Aluminum alloys that has been rolled thin in what is called a "tin mill".

So, if you want to keep the GOP Crime Syndicate out of your brain, you must go acquire some real tin foil, or at least, steel foil that has been coated with tin.

1. REAL tin foil can be had...

2. Well tin is all well and good for the "off the rack" crowd but...

If you'd really like to stand out and turn heads I'd suggest something a little more stylish...

3. That one was pure silver of course.

Which actually works BETTER than tin, but you have to polish it all the time.

4. You forgot to link the "white paper"

It's funny as hell if you haven't read it already.

5. Can't I just continue to avoid everyone?

Won't that be good enough to keep the GOP Crime Syndicate out?

6. Thanks, anyway, but I'm not changing mine.

I can pick up two FM stations and twenty three AM on a clear night. And when I close my eyes, I can see the Eiffel Tower web cam.
