Here’s something to while away 3o seconds with:
It’s a collection of the logos that Google have used to celebrate various days with links to the ones from previous years. Today’s one, marking the end of Western conflict in the First World War, isn’t on there yet but will no doubt appear soon.
I hope all you UK people purchased a poppy!
FACT!
People at MIT hve spent time proving that foil hats actually amplify radio frequencies rather than deflect them, as is the commonly held belief. No doubt the rumours about their protective capabilities was started by the government. Yep.
Using a $250,000 network analyser, we find that although on average all helmets attenuate invasive radio frequencies in either directions (either emanating from an outside source, or emanating from the cranium of the subject), certain frequencies are in fact greatly amplified. These amplified frequencies coincide with radio bands reserved for government use according to the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). 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.
Isn’t it reassuring to know that the people at MIT are making good use of their time? 😀
