Number one rule:

Never wear your tin foil hat under your pyramid.

Rumor has it that the government (and possibly the aliens are in on this as well) are micro chipping some of the aluminum foil. Make sure you always buy the heavy duty foil (yes, it costs more, but lasts longer!) and it should be a brand name you recognize (like Reynolds). Beware of any foil that is marked on the box made by "United States Government Company"!

And as for the remark about having tin foil on the ceilings and floor, scientific data shows tin foil on the walls, doors, and windows reflects all radio waves. Once you are inside the safety of your aluminum foiled house, you can safely take your tin foil hat off. An added benefit to the tin foil on ceilings and walls is that you can reduce the wattage of your light bulbs due to the reflection capability of the foil. This results in less electricity being used which saves you money, which sadly evens out as having foil over the doors and windows blocks out natural light resulting in the lights being on 24 hours a day (not to mention screwing up your internal clock).

But this is well worth it instead of being abducted by the government or aliens!!

as i man, i have been told that i have brains in another place. that is why i have choose to sit on a piece of foil. everyone knows that when they reverse the polarity on the active unit, the ground rods actually become transmitters and recievers and use the ground to channel the energy waves!

that reminds me...anyone have a foil codpiece?

I used to carry a foil-wrapped codpiece in my pants.



But, after a few days, it began to smell like rotting fish.

Using aluminum or other conductive metal screening (window screen material) instead of foil should work just as well, as the waves of concern won't get through the screen either, and screen can be easier to workwith in some cases, and also lets some light through, so you can use it over windows, just make sure it is electrically connected to the material on the walls and ceiling.

Tin Foil Hats - Homesteading Questions

I am thinking that a lot could be done to camoflauge your hat! With a bit of candy sprinkles or glitter, a bit of tinsel, and maybe some nail polish or melted wax lips!....you could create one of these masterpieces! Then you would just blend in...no one would notice at all, but you would still have that protection that a well placed bit of foil provides!

Wearing a Electroscope-----well no---not unless you can remain motionless for great periods of time. Very hard to do when you've got the itchy-twitchy's. Same goes for keeping your foil hat on when you've got the twitchy's, but that's easy to solve with copious use of Duct Tape.

As far as a period is concerned.......I thought that they came at the end of every sentence. If its only once a month than that could cause some interesting writing
notice theres on period there

Used to be a guy in Norman, Oklahoma, that wore a tin foil hat and clothes made from big garbage bags. He was apparently harmless and wandered around town a lot. We always referred to him as "The Man From Glad". Wish I knew what happened to him.

Will these hats work if you've had your identity stolen?

What is tin foil???? I've seen aluminum foil, but not tin foil.

And what about that old phrase: Curses! Foiled again.
