I've been waiting on a panel of experts to ask this:

Back before tinfoil was invented ,my great uncle's step-brother had a blacksmith hammer him out a cap made from some exotic[actually , that word had not been invented then either] metal he had won from an indian in a crap game.

It was claimed he could receive messages from people who had not yet been born.

He reportedly spent his final years in an insane asylum mumbling something about a "Grand Pooh Bah".

He was buried in his cap.

I know where.

Y'all want it ?

Smooth reflects better, everybody knows that! Sheezzzzz.


Shiny side out and wrinkled. That's what they use on the F117, otherwise the waves are distinguishable under any and all waves. You have to deflect in different directions. If they can see your melon, they can read your melon, you dummies. Yeeeeeesssshhhhh........ whistle

Not exactly - titanium or Beryllium copper for cool days - Inconel X750 for heat - tungsten for hailstorms...

Nothin' wrong with that combo,.....

Being rich will get you through crazy quite handsomely, I'd venture.

His will probably be a "Good Crazy" , anyhoo.

Hasty foil is field expedient protection. I think white bear actually liberated his hastey foil from a baked potato for that radio project.

He's a survivor. I once saw him wrap a foil turkey roasting pan around his head in an emergency.

Of course the turkey was dumped on the ground, the folks that were trying to cook the turkey at the park were pretty mad but white bear had stuff in his head that he didn't want stolen. So it was way worth it.

You ever see those aluminum fire shelters the forest service fire fighters carry? You can fold one of those babies into a 6 foot canoe you can wear on your head....The ultimate in high fashion brain wave protection...

I'd hunt with him anytime, sounds like a trooper.

BTW Dave, do you use chinstraps when the blue northerns blow in or just your left hand? Personally I think it's very stylish to have a chinstrap, kinda like Joe Namath ya know? See lower right................

Double wrap? That would get kinda hot here in TX. Wouldn't be half baked, it would be full sizzle.

One other thing I forgot to mention for those that wear tin foil hats. DO NOT wear it tightly on the noggin, it will pinch the blood off to your hairs and you'll lose 'em all. Can't say I didn't warn ya.
