Foil hats

Post by Raxmei »

I have heard talk in the past about paranoid lunatics wearing tin foil hats. How exactly would one go about making such an object? Are there any websites around with instructive diagrams, or is this something people are supposed to pick up on their own?

Ask me and Pablo. We're experts at this sort of thing.

There are two ways:

A. The munchkin way, basically you take alot of foil and shape it around your head. However there is a good tip in the back A la the Munchkins from The Wizard of OZ. Note: you also leave the face area open.

B. Garbage can lid style: all you need is foil and a string. You shape the foil like a garbage can top, and the poke the string through as a chin strap.

Now the pros and cons of each style are as follows:

Pro A. : you have unobstructed vision, and are protected from nearly level satelites.

Cons A: If the satelite is even at a slight angle infront of you, your doomed.

Pro B: You are protected from all but nearly level satelites.

Cons B: The sneaky FBI can have people right above you who you won't be able to see in an ambush, if the chin strap comes loose your scanned.


If you want total protection and you don't care how, use both. And you will be the coolest dude around 8) .

First, you must get some old Reynolds Wrap from the 1960s or so.

The new stuff is crap. The governement made it weaker and
the new shit doesn't stop the mind control rays. Pre 1960 stuff
is the best!

Then, using a hammer, and superglue, form it to your head, using the
superglue as epoxy to keep the entire hat smooth, and the hammer to
hammer out any wrinkles. Then you must castrate yourself as the government
has implanted tracking microchips into the scrotum of every male born
since 1982.

(conviently enough, I was born in 1981, AHAHAHHA)

I don't need one of those. The government doesn't use sattelites to spy on me, they use hidden cameras with X-ray vision to see through walls.
