Lightning... mindshield... cosmic rays

I just had to reproduce this bit by Savage-Rabbit here, posted in response to some rubbish on slashdot.

Wearing a tin foil hat in a lightning storm is a win/win situation. If it works you are protected from lightning, if it doesn't work the lightning will melt the tinfoil and fuse it with your skull creating a permanent mindshield to protect you from those cosmic mind rays plus the lightning will probably also fry all those alien implants.

As my sister would say, high as a soaring kite. Or perhaps not taking medication... :)

Lightning... mindshield... cosmic rays... Yeah Baby!
