    It works like this: Some RFC-ers have admitted here that they were the
    first to vote on one or other of the RFC surveys, and asked for their
    "Prize". The Prize is a "virtual" tin foil hat - they have a choice of 3
    at the moment - and they get their name up on the "Winners" page. This
    was implemented on April 28, 2007, and there is only one "winner" so
    far. So if you want one, you know what to do 😉

    HTH? 🙂

    Sounds like -L. was expecting a cheese sampler or something!?! <vbg>

    --> Wearing a tinfoil hat to deflect government mind-control
    --> radio waves is even more foolish than most people think.
    --> According to several (apparent) students from MIT who tested
    --> several hat designs, there was "a 30 db amplification at 2.6
    --> Ghz and a 20 db amplification at 1.2 Ghz, regardless of the
    --> position of the antenna on the cranium."
    -->
    --> The students note that "the helmets amplify frequency bands
    --> that coincide with those allocated to the US government
    --> between 1.2 Ghz and 1.4 Ghz. According to the FCC, These
    --> bands are supposedly reserved for 'radio location' (ie,
    --> GPS), and other communications with satellites."
    -->
    --> The researchers speculate that the government is behind the
    --> rumour that tinfoil hats protect people from invasive radio
    --> signals in order to encourage their use and therefore to
    --> enhance the effectiveness of their radio control program.

    --> AFDBs, even if the seller seems trustworthy. They may
    --> contain backdoors, pinholes, integrated psychotronic
    --> circuitry or other methods that actually promote mind
    --> control.

    Thing about this prize, it's a scam! You have to make your own
    hat with your own foil! Wow, hope I win. Huh.

    I'd wait for the summer line of tin foil tiaras, to go with your diamond

    So, nancy, next time you post a recipe for some nice dish you made -
    you're gonna cook it for me, and send it over to me too! Sheesh, and to
    think all this time I have been cooking my own meals with my own
    ingredients, I might add, from those recipes you posted. Nobody told me
    I could get them from you ready-made? Heck, have I been "missing
    something" here, or what? 😉

    Heh, but I didn't say you *won* the food! And if you'd just move

    Actually the gov't disinformation campaign, a standard
    propaganda paradigm re-alignment, was in convincing the
    populace that the tin foil hats did not need to be
    grounded electrically. Any standard DC battery with a
    voltage greater than the amplified signals in the Ghz
    frequency ranges would work fine. Don't forget the one
    mega-ohm resister so the batter doesn't short itself out
    in a few seconds.

    Note: Using the grounded foil hat as a sexual toy is
    not recomended. Voltages greater than 9V may
    result in permanent damage.

    Hat style #3 isn't for around the house as it claims. It's a
    formal hat worn by women of refinement to fancy get-togethers at
    Taco Bell in the year 2023, as depicted in the movie "Demolition
    Man" [Sylvester Stallone, Weseley Snipes. 1993]

    Heh. If I am still around in 2023, I guess I can go out for some "fine
    dining" without having to change my hat 😉

    I think my hat will always be in style... yamulkes have been around
    some 5000 years, 'cause they don't have that brim to get in the way.
