I was watching one of my favorite shows - Mythbusters - with the episode trying to examine the myth that a cellphone can muck up Nav avionics in an aircraft, and they mentioned a Faraday Cage, which was said to be a cage/box/room that is surrounded by brass mesh.

So...I started thinking...Them Romans were really ahead of thier time, if they were wearing brass helmets, then they would have been immune to radio-frequency weapons trying to scramble their brains! So that Celtic/Gaulic vertical animal-shaped trumpet with the flapper-tounge wouldn't have worked, And, that must mean that Aliens can't read thier minds with them brass helmets blocking out thier mind-reading-rays! Screw tin-foil! Grab a brass helmet!

Tongue lol: :roll: :wink:

Well a helmet should work better than tinfoil...

It just shows you what moonbats the tinfoil crowd is, the crest is not trans verse. It should be the "tribune"

Oh well.
