content: Hi,I can not wait for the follow on product, listed in the KS Comments:This will allow me to stop me having to wear tin foil undies in the lab. I have been, on occasion, been embarrassed by answering the front door with them on. I have even driven to the mall (with them on) after a long day in the lab.They have got the right idea here. I don't care if my brain gets irradiated, but my junk ....They talk about holding a short poll, they can't even spell pole, I don't know whether to trusted them with my 'Pole' or is it 'Poll'?[sarcasm\]Jay_Diddy_B

content: Imagine how cool it would be to achieve Earth-Mooon-Earth using one of those hats as the dish, the weave may allow even 10GHz, so you would get decent gain for the 'dish' diameterPS does it come with the special protective 'curried egg paste'? ( I hope I have my ghost buster quote right)
