I’ve already got a working cloaking device on my car, everytime I go anywhere, I can count on a bunch of ignorant SOBs pulling out in front of me, damn near causing a wreck, and the only possible explanation is that they can’t see me, which means that my cloaking device does NOT have an ‘off’ switch, and that really p*sses me off.

This only proves they are watching us and are among us. If we can develop this technology, the LGM’s have had it for centuries. ———OK, I’m going to go get some more tinfoil now.

That’s awesome! Scientific American ran an article on this in November of last year, and now the Times is running with it. They’re only eight months behind the rest of us. That’s not bad for a daily newspaper.

They might even catch up some day!

“An alien with microwave vision”

Reading that phrase makes me think of Rosie O’Donnell and Hot Pockets.

I could have saved them a bunch of money. All you need to divert microwaves is a properly placed piece of aluminum tin foil......

If this research leads to visible light cloaking devices, we’ll all wish we’d bought stock in the company that makes The Clapper.
