Hi Trentt!!!!

[Baz Faz]

I see you are online. (waves)

[Voy]

He has ( or had ) a tin-foil hat. I hope it's not blocking the waves - as I join in waving,
Hi Trentt !

Tin foil head screens, good thinking, one can't be too careful.

The enhanced low-frequency electricaloil oscillations in the Earth-ionosphere cavity relate to possible
weapons systems through a little understood aspect of brain physiology. Electrical activity in the brain is
concentrated at certain frequencies, some of it extremely slow, a little around five cycles per second, and
very conspicuous activity (the so-called alpha rhythm) around ten cycles per second.
Some experiments have been done in the use of a flickering light to pull the brain’s alpha rhythm into
unnatural synchrony with it; the visual stimulation leads to electrical stimulation. There has also been
work on direct electrical driving of the brain. In experiments discussed by Norbert Wiener, a sheet of tin is
suspended from the ceiling and connected to a generator working at ten cycles per second. With large
field strengths of one or two volts per centimetre oscillating at the alpha-rhythm frequency, decidedly
unpleasant sensations are noted by human subjects

To the best of my recollection: the science of brain control by very low frequency radio waves was investigated early in the Cold War. But one wonders whether attempts to make Russians more miserable would be necessary or even detectable, but in the free world precautions would be advisable.

back a million years ago, Trentt and I had a mini pissup in NY with... I can't remember even his TTYC handle - maybe from Philly? - any way the whole tin hat thing was involved and Trentt and I wore them when we met him.... oi ! Trentt - who WAS that !

[trentt]

I do remember a NYC pissup with low attendance ... did utraveler attend as well? But details are stuck in the haze of senescence.

Hi there everyone!

[trentt]

Was it Marshall?

[Voy]

I think it was -- the Uie one was different - he, Uie, actually organized a bunch of them. And there was the one in Boston where several of us wore purple undies... And ate Scotch Eggs...

Glad to hear that you ate them. I used to shudder at the thought of what Trentt usually did with them!

[Baz Faz]

How did you know who wore purple undies? We need to know the dirty secrets of what went on.

[Voy]

well.... it was in a bar in Cambridge ... after everyone eating red liquorice sticks ( why I can't recall ) we sort of pulled our waistbands out... nothing really salacious occurred.

[trentt]

It was in honor of "snacking on redvines", whose poster curly_sue, had died.

Purple underwear was yet another urban legend, during the infamous 2001 Minneapolis pissup, when we all headed to Hidden Beach at some dark hour to engage in skinny-dipping, when canuckgirl posted and swore to everyone that the briefs I left on some bush were purple, but they were in fact blue.

These are the facts.

[trentt]

Later that year, of course, records show that Scrubb left her underwear in my duffel bag in New York.

Another fact well documented.

[Scrubb]

Balderdash! Trentt is playing fast and loose with "facts" all around! His undies MUST have been purple. And he TRIED, but failed, to steal my (purple) underwear!

[sophie]

Those were the days!!
