Tinfoil hat question
OK,

I haven't seen tinfoil since I was about 2 years old. All I ever see nowadays is aluminum foil, so shouldn't the skeptics be making/wearing aluminum foil hats?

3. I recommend...
A nice stainless-steel colander, with grounding straps made from copper welding cable that reach to the ground, with approx. 12" of contact area. That should stop 90% of the Evil CIA Mind Rays being beamed at you.

4. .

So you've seen pictures of me, or have we met?

(Guess I'd better patent my collander-hat before everybody starts wearing one.)

5. It really was made out of tin at one time? I had no idea!
I just assumed "aluminum" was too much of a mouthful (as is "coated steel can").
