Best Scientific Study EVER

Sign in to disble this ad
For those of you on the paranoid-lunatic-aluminum-foil-hat fringe, here's the M.I.T. grad student study you have always needed:

http://people.csail.mit.edu/rahimi/helmet/

Last sentence of the conclusion:

"It requires no stretch of the imagination to conclude that the current helmet craze is likely to have been propagated by the Government, possibly with the involvement of the FCC. We hope this report will encourage the paranoid community to develop improved helmet designs to avoid falling prey to these shortcomings."

Awesome. Looks like it's time to start investing in lead-lined hats.

Good luck in job interviews with those conclusions.


And: a sample group of four?

Indeed, this study needs more statistical power from a larger sample size before it can make it through a peer-reviewed committee.

With that said, I think it's time to start investing in gold and buying seeds from the seed bank.

What about the effectiveness of foil against the mind control signals, being sent by the advance guard of the reptoid aliens from the Delphi 7 system?????
