Tin-foil hat

A <b>tin-foil hat</b>, also <b>tinfoil hat</b>, is a general term for a piece of [headgear](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headgear) made from one or more sheets of [tin foil](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tin_foil), [aluminium foil](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_foil), or other similar material. Some people wear the hats in the belief that they act to shield the [brain](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain) from such influences as [electromagnetic fields](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_field), or against [mind control](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_control) and/or [mind reading](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_reading). Hats made from foil are very rarely used, since the injuries they might guard against are highly speculative, and their effectiveness in preventing such harm would be dubious even if the danger were plausible. Instead, the concept has become a popular [stereotype](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotype) and term of derision; in [Internet culture](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_culture), the phrase (sometimes as the abbreviation "TFH") serves as a byword for [paranoia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranoia).
EDIT: I came across this site after searching for information on the subject after considering that a hat with a faraday cage inside it… might actually sell… This idea was considered after 4 straight hours of staring at the computer teaching myself computer software.
EDIT2: I feel slightly more sane though, now, after my lunch break.
