US family defiant in tinfoil house
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/05/24/tinfoil_house/
This one is causing some merriment on Slashdot at the moment: a
Sacramento family has been ordered to remove aluminium cladding from
their house which, they claim, is protecting them from radio wave attack
by neighbours.
According to local news outfit KCRA, the D'Souzas say the assaults began
on the first anniversary of 11 September, and have subsequently caused
"health problems ranging from headaches to lupus". Accordingly, they clad
the exterior of the house with sheet aluminium which, as Sarah D'Souza
expained, is "a shield to protect against radiation, because microwave
radiation is reflected off of aluminium, so it's a protective measure."
The neighbours and the authorities are less than impressed. The D'Souzas
have been ordered to remove the cladding or face the consequences.
Sacramento Code Enforcement spokesman, Josh Pino, admitted: "Eleven years
in Sacramento and few other years in Southern California and this is the
first time I've ever seen [anything like this]. The inside of the house
is also covered with foil and the beds are covered with a foil-like
material as well."
The D'Souzas have said they will provide evidence of "what they believe
is a problem with radiation". Quite right too. We here at Vulture Central
- wary of possible attack by war-driving hackers, bluejackers and Lizard
Army mind-control rays - sit inside an enormous Faraday cage which blocks
100 per cent of electromagnetic radiation. Furthermore, our security
correspondent John Leyden is, as we speak, wrapped in an enormous hi-tech
tinfoil quilt after complaining of the initial symptoms of lupus. Crikey.

'Realism is seductive because once you have accepted the reasonable
notion that you should base your actions on reality, you are too often
led to accept, without much questioning, someone else's version of what
that reality is. It is a crucial act of independent thinking to be
skeptical of someone else's description of reality.'-
