Time for a new hat

[PraiseA||ah]

Damn it all. I, like everyone else thought I had Them beat. I had The Man outsmarted, outwitted and locked out. In fact, the whole time I was being duped. Time for a new hat methinks.

"It requires no stretch of the imagination to conclude that the current helmet craze is likely to have been propagated by the Government, possibly with the involvement of the FCC. We hope this report will encourage the paranoid community to develop improved helmet designs to avoid falling prey to these shortcomings. "
Perhaps they should improve their other obvious shortcomings, before worrying about a hat...

Funny story.
I wonder how people are dealing with the 'buzz' over RFID chips, not just in products, but the one that some people are having implanted in their hand.
That should really help drive the sales of tin foil.

I found a copper mesh helmet is much more effective than an aluminum foil helmet. Especially when you consider the "fins" on some of the helmets described in the MIT study, which sould act as an antenna.
