1. Yes
Anyone that wears one is completely unaffected by brain control waves from outerspace.

15. Clearly, that is KEY!
Otherwise it merely amplifes the signals!

Of course it works
I have never heard any outer space voices since I put mine on. The other voices I had before, but I don't mind them.:tinfoilhat:

8. Actually, YES!
If you allow a patient who claims to want a tinfoil hat to wear one, you usually have to medicate less. Of course, modern protocols claim this robs the patient of his or her dignity, and so it is prohibited.

9. It works for me, I have Reynold's aluminum stock.
Actually, if I did, I would be extremely unhappy.

10. Feels kind of interesting and weird
but does nothing except make your family and friends laugh at you and your pets will never quite look at you the same as before. I am not sure why that last part happens. They do eventually quit looking at you in that puzzled way though. Eventually. Of course, I do crazy stuff like that all the time and wore the barbarian blow up hat from my happy meal last week. My cat noticed but just shook his head and shrugged. I guess he's used to me now.
