Sweet! An Invisibility Cloak!




I thought this little article discussing recent breakthroughs in Invisibility Cloaks ( yes, that's what I said) was pretty amazing. The pros of having a cloak of invisibility are fantastic; ranging from hiding objects to protecting entire cities from earthquakes! Can't wait to see where they take this new technology.
Of course my innate pessimism can't help but wonder how this possibly, eventually, will be used to do something nasty and destructive.
At any rate...I wish that I had one now. I would throw it over Tony's rental house in Ypsilanti and rid the world of a disgusting eye sore. You know the kind of house I'm talking about. The kind that needs to be painted. The kind that is in desperate need of some decent landscaping. You know...The kind that have tenants that throw their dead cats into a iron bathtub in the back yard and have weeks of garbage on the back porch and have 4 dogs instead of the agreed upon 1 and several cats, birds, lizards, fish and I swear I think I saw a monkey, but I may have been hallucinating from the miasma of animal excrement,body odor, beer, smoke and general funk that oozes through and out of that horrid place. You know...That kind of house.
