Before the LHC goes online, I need to know if aluminum is a good substitute for tin in making foil hats

Question

Well, they always say "tin foil hats" but I don't know where to get tin foil. I wanted to make sure my aluminum foil hat would be an equally effective protection from bad spacey stuff that the LHC might cause.

Answer 1

I got an idea.  You can just join me in my rocket ship me and Billy Bob Thornton have been building in my barn.  We are going to fly to Vega because supposedly Jodie Foster has a place there.  

BTW:  Billy Bob says if you use aluminum foil...make sure you double wrap it.  Later!

Answer 2

With all the alien sightings, tin foil hats are on high demand. Although aluminum won't give you the kind of protection that tin foil will, it is the only chance we have! After these alien sightings die down, stock up on tin foil for 2012. It is the only chance we have of surviving Nibiru!  

Answer 3

Haha, I'd like to be in the d**n thing wearing my wooliest hat and gloves! I can't wait for the first experimental results to hit the news when it's fully online. Apparently, it's a bit cold in there...  

Answer 4

Ok I think I got it....shiny side out, rub mayonaise on the head...wait! Best Foods or Miracle Whip?

I want the best mayonaise but i want it to work like a miracle...

drats...."foiled" again!

Answer 5

aluminium foil works the best but i find when you shave your head it is best to rub mayonnaise on your head before you put the hat on because it helps keep your head smelling like a salad, don't forget a foil hat works like a partial faraday cage for the brain lol.

Answer 6

While tin foil is ideal for this project, it must be remembered that aluminum foil was all the rage by the time of the Roswell incident when the aliens began to infiltrate the government and to start the mind control beams.  And similar to the success of aluminum foil balls inside your hubcaps to throw off police radar, aluminum foil has always worked very well in all post-Roswell radiation protection.

The important thing, whether aluminum or tin, is that the hat must be a exact scale duplication of the Great Pyramid of Giza.  This is of the utmost importance; after all, when was the last time that you saw an alien in the Great Pyramid of Giza?!  They don't dare enter in there.

Now that we are specifically looking to protect us from the LHC, the most critical aspect is alignment, alignment, alignment.  No matter where you face, you need a lateral side at a perfect right angle to the LHC.  So thank goodness for GPS!  You can buy my step-motor interface that ties your GPS to your foil hat and always keeps a lateral side to the LHC.

Oh, and you need my titanium-scented candles to keep away any free electrons from your spirit.  You have no idea how essential that is!  George Bush didn't buy any of my titanium-scented candles and look what happened to him!

Answer 7

Cesium - hmmmm - that might cause another mini- black hole right there in your head! And mayo is a good idea, but don't substitute Miracle Whip - it's non conductive.

Why not go all the way and use carbon fiber composite? Then you could align the fibers with Europe for that extra protection. The mayo might stain the epoxy, but by then it won't matter...

I have no idea! lol

Look if your gonna use aluminum you have to be sure to put the shiny side OUT! if you do it the other way the suns rays will be trapped inside and will fry ur tiny little brain. 2nd If you can find Cesium to wrap around ur noggen its a much better bet, I doubt anyone here knows the chemical properties of cesium so I'm the only one laughing at that one, but really use that or a bunch of thermometers taped together in a hat for because the mercury is a great inhibitor from telepathic signals. But if you wanna go the safest surest route get a naruto headband, those things protect you from aliens, shurkens and rabid christians. Btw all christians are rabid, in fact the only thumbs down i will get will be from christians, who obviously don't know the dangers awaiting them in deep space where their fairy tale god can't protect them and the flying spaghetti monster has reign over all.
