Unutterably Silly Chicken

[eschwartz]

And why did it take you this long to find and eat them? They've been missing for over a week!

I think you're just making it up, hoping to scare us. They have hidden beyond your grasp!

I can only assume you were distracted by the decoys after all. Even though you knew they were decoys!

Why, nothing.

I was able to use the decoys to attract several chickens. They were very realistic looking decoys.

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Too bad your tail feathers are sticking out. (One size fits all - yeah, right)

So, it appears, are your so-called "chickens".

Drat! ACME fails me again!

It's okay PoohBear, I have just the thing to cover you up and keep you from being seen: my all-purpose thin aluminum suit. Just put this suit on and you'll be protected from danger.

*Solitaire1 puts a box labeled "aluminum foil" out of sight.*

But the aluminum suit isn't invisible to hungry members. It only shields me from alien thought control ....

[I knew I shouldn't have dried the ACME cloak in the dryer!]

Did you miss the label that says "Dry Clean Only"?

It's seems that PoohBear makes the same mistake that Wile E. Coyote makes when it comes to ACME products: He didn't fully read the label/instructions.

An example: Wile E. Coyote buys ACME Earthquake Pills and feeds one to the Roadrunner. It's only after it appears to not work on the Roadrunner and he has consumed the entire bottle in disgust that he finally looks at that label: It says the pills don't work on roadrunners . Wile E. proceeds to find out that the pills work VERY well in accordance with the instructions .

By the way, who says that aluminum will shield you from mind control? It seems like it would actually make you more subject to it since it would act as an antenna.

And you call yourself a scientist?

Electromagnetic radiation[edit]

The notion that a tin foil hat can significantly reduce the intensity of incident radio frequency radiation on the wearer's brain has some scientific validity, as the effect of strong radio waves has been documented for quite some time.[3] A well-constructed tin foil enclosure would approximate a Faraday cage, reducing the amount of (typically harmless) radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation passing through to the interior of the structure. A common high school physics demonstration involves placing an AM radio on tin foil, and then covering the radio with a metal bucket. This leads to a noticeable reduction in signal strength. The efficiency of such an enclosure in blocking such radiation depends on the thickness of the tin foil, as dictated by the skin depth, the distance the radiation can propagate in a particular non-ideal conductor. For half-millimetre-thick tin foil, radiation above about 20 kHz (i.e., including both AM and FM bands) would be partially blocked, although tin foil is not sold in this thickness, so numerous layers of tin foil would be required to achieve this effect.[4]

The effectiveness of the tin foil hat as electromagnetic shielding for stopping radio waves is greatly reduced by it not being a complete enclosure. Placing an AM radio under a metal bucket without a conductive layer underneath demonstrates the relative ineffectiveness of such a setup. Indeed, because the effect of an ungrounded Faraday cage is to partially reflect the incident radiation, a radio wave that is incident on the inner surface of the hat (i.e., coming from underneath the hat-wearer) would be reflected and partially 'focused' towards the user's brain. However the hat may be partially grounded by the conductive properties of the skin with which it contacts.

Everyone who has ever tried to escape mind control knows this is how you do it. It's basic science.

P.S. Antennas are a little more complicated than "hey, metal!!"
