So the UC Berkley is working on a way to make objects invisible. Kind of like that cloak in Harry Potter. The military is funding it, although I can see many civilian uses. You could toss it on and head for say, oh, I don’t know, the nearest women’s locker room! Or the hottest women’s dorm! It would be great for those sold out football or hockey games. yeah, some real good civilian uses for us guys. How much are they?
I love the olympics. Especially when the French tell us how they will “smash the Americans” in swimming and we nail them by 8/100ths of a second. The videos on youtube are being taken down left and right. So here is the NBC video of the relay and the medal ceremony and other swim events as well. The top 5 all beat the world record which means that 2 teams beat the record and went home without a medal. Ouch.
Speaking of the olympics, did you hear the story about our flag bearer at the opening ceremonies? Lopez Lomong was in Sudan during a civil war about 17 years ago. He was 6 at the time. He fled and wound up at a refugee camp in Kenya. He eventually was able to come to America where he gained his citizenship. He was inspired by other American olympians to try out for the olympics and made it in the 1500m run. When our original flag bearer was nixed by China due to political outspoken-ness, they chose Lopez. Incredible. From running from a bloody civil war at age 6, to an American olympian at age 23. Eat that one America hating lefties, you may not think it, but everyone else thinks we’re a darn good place to live. Glad to have you as a citizen, Lopez. We’re proud of you whether you win a medal or not. Go out there and do your best!

A bulldog in Michigan saved a bag of kittens that had been thrown into a lake.
Finally, a couple examples of the best outcomes, intruder killed by homeowner!
And a sailor defends his girlfriend. Result? Intruder destroyed!

And best of all in the olympics, a local kid, Peter Vanderkaay, took the bronze in an event. That guy’s dad was my dentist ever since I was a kid. Way to go Pete!

There are ways of being spotted in an invisible cloak. First off, water/steam can gather about the cloak, and people might not see the cloak but they can see the water on it. So no go on the women’s locker rooms.
For women’s college dorms, they can install plush carpeting, thick wooly stuff, that your body weight can sink into. Your footprints can then be spotted and you will get hunted down. With phase plasma rifles in the 40 watt range.
Sneaking into football or hockey games??? You’re supposed to buy tickets from scalpers, you fiend. Support your local ticket brokers!
