Previously: What if the Tin Foil Hat Brigade is right?

Update: Here's a rebuttal

I like the fact that the rebuttal caught the original post in a lie, they're using Chef's Pride Aluminum foil instead of Reynold's as they state in their article. I also think its pretty funny that they tied the MIT Media lab into the whole mind control conspiracy thing:

Most relevant here, a Media Lab research group called “Society of the Mind” (secret societies have long been involved in mind control) is involved in the DARPA funded CHIP: Comprehensive Human Intelligence Project, which “aims to develop a 'Cognitive Architecture' inspired by the observed structure and dynamics of the human brain/mind system” and is part of a larger DARPA program called Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architecture. DARPA gave Media Lab US$1,032,627 for this black project, about which no information can be found.

Also interesting was this:

Aluminum was originally named “alumium” by Sir Humphry Davy, who later changed it to “aluminum” (perhaps in an attempt to make it more Latinized since alumen is Latin for alum, the aluminum compound that the name is derived from). The British (and allied English speakers) shortly thereafter changed the name once more, this time to “aluminium” so that it would again match the pattern of most other elements (helium, sodium, etc.), while the North Americans eventually decided to keep the second, slightly more traditional name. I predict that North Americans will adopt the more regular “-ium” spelling by the year 2050, prompting the British to start calling it “alumininium”. At that point debate can begin on changing “platinum” to “platinium”
