Comments on: Foil Hat Instructions: Two layers, shiny side out http://www.saysuncle.com/2008/08/06/foil-hat-instructions-two-layers-shiny-side-out/ Remember, I do this to entertain me... not you.

However, to get the best effect you want mu-metal (think of Magneto's helmet in X-Men). The last time I saw anyone actually wearing an aluminum foil hat was at Georgia Tech, in 1989. Don't ask. GaTech was and is an interesting place. From the website: http://www.mushield.com/material-specs.shtml MuShield high permeability magnetic shielding material is a non-oriented 80% nickel-iron-molybdenum alloy which offers extremely high initial permeability and maximum permeability with minimum hysteresis loss. So that should help with that hat problem.

If you get fundraising emails from the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership, then you <i>must be a member</i>. (That <i>is</i> how they count their "membership," right?) And, since you're a gunblogger, you <i>must be a <strong>mole</strong></i>. And, since you're a <i>mole in the Brady Campaign</i> you <strong>must be getting paid by TEH NRA!</strong> You ARE getting wheelbarrows full of cash from Wayne LaPierre! Wait…

To successfully block all the signals the NRA and Carl Rove are beaming into your brain from our oil company spy sattelites, you need a ferrous material, and for best protection at all times it should be earth-grounded. (I can say this freely, because the people we're controlling from the NRA/Carl Rove/oil company sattelites will not be allowed to comprehend this statement) Nothing to see here. Watch TV for further coded instructions. How many times do I have to repeat this; Aluminum foil will block the electric field component of EM waves, but NOT the magnetic component.
