An aluminum hat should provide all the protection you need – from anything at all.

Question is, where does your Mum stand on the metal issue?

Won’t decide which way it wants to go. Also a big show-off and won’t hesitate to attract sorts like itself! Disgusting. :mad:

To be honest, it was the first of the metal threads I saw when I woke up this morning. It’s like knowing a song for a long time and then finding out it’s actually a cover of a 20 year old song. In your head, the ‘cover’ will always be the original.

Besides, I didn’t really feel like researching it. I wasn’t even planning on clicking on it. I figured it was someone whining about James Durbin losing AI, but the hover text proved me wrong. I skimmed through it, didn’t really read it, saw lots of quotes and moved on.

Yeah, I think I’ll just go embrace the noble gasses for a while until someone explains what the hell’s going on.

I’d like to stand on the metal issue but Philippe is already standing on it.

[Moderating]

Fun’s fun, guys, but we don’t want the whole front page of the Pit taken up with joke threads. I have merged eight threads here in order to maximize confusion.

Also, when starting a parody Pit thread please provide a link to the [original thread.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=610740)
