On the Effectiveness of Aluminium Foil Helmets: An Empirical Study
This is a study made at MIT to check if aluminum foil helmets really work. The goal was to find out, if one can use these helmets to effectively prevent the wearer from being mind controlled. The scientists have come to the conclusion that these helmets are not suitable for preventing mind control. Quite contrary: They believe that these devices can even amplify mind control attempts.

REBUTTAL TO THE MIT ANTI-AFDB STUDY
There even is a rebuttal of the said MIT study about tin foil helmets (see link above). Besides this article, the whole site "Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie" is quite interesting.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster
A new religion is on its way to conquer the world. It has some interesting points: The world was created by a Flaying Spaghetti Monster and heaven has a beer vulcano and a stripper factory. May it find many followers and may it bring peace to the people. You can find more info about the FSM by following the links below. Ramen!
