Geezer Geek ping.

This is a very low-volume ping list (typically days to weeks between pings).

I'll take the Aluminum, in the form of Aluminum OxyNitride, for the visor of the helmet.

Statistical evidence suggests the use of helmets may in fact enhance the government's invasive abilities. We theorize that the government may in fact have started the helmet craze for this reason.

Bauxite shares, it's all Bush's fault.

Figure it out, Bauxite+Halliburton+Cheney=Bush.

Simple once you go to a copper helmet, it's all clear then.

......Bauxite+Halliburton+Cheney=Bush......

You got the equation wrong.

Bauxite + Russian Aluminum Stockpile + Marc Rich = Clinton

That equation is bonefide world history

I'll want my space suit helmet to be made of the best materials available.

I mean, I commend their efforts, but I sure as hell hope this was not a government sponsored study, i.e. paid for by my taxes.

Is there any significance to the British spelling of "aluminum" in the headline? Both versions were used in the body of the article. I hope the results weren't affected by this.

Also, did anyone consider using transparent aluminum in the tests?

But what if the black helicopter is covered with aluminum foil prior to transmission of the GPS-attentuated signals?

I see the need for further study.
