Do you really think the aluminum hat would help? How about I if I

That is your problem, the stainless steel mixing bowl, you need to be
using an aluminum colander with the curved feet on the bottom.

You both are idiots, they colander holes will allow the data to enter
and leave easily.
Leave, leave? Oh, that's right I forgot about the transmitter attached
to the central nervous system and inserted using the infamous "anal probe."

See - I told you - it's all about the holes. :)

Speaking of which, curiously enough, I have been approached by my two
specialist doctors by have a RFID chip inserted as an experiment.

I'm seriously thinking of having it done. It's about the size of a
grain of rice, you don't notice it's there and from what I've been
able to understand, data secure to only the two hospitals I visit for
my treatments. Both of my dogs have them for ID purposes and it makes
the vet visits a lot faster.

And the other advantage is that I don't have to check in or anything -
just wave it at the scanner and that's that - right into the infusion
suite. As I understand it, it scans when I enter the hospital, the
data is transmitted to the nurses station, the check-in is done and by
the time I get to the floor, my meds are waiting and all they have to
do is vital signs. I've been told that eventually, it will be able to
work with a scale and BP machine so I can do my weight check (because
my meds are measured by weight) and BP check at home, put the data on
the chip and the chip monitors pulse and temp.

Sounds cool man.



It does sound cool but, I've heard about some problems with animals
developing cancer from the implanted devices. The manufacturer stands by
the FDA's approval that the devices are safe.

I think I'll wait for the sequel.

And, the last conference I attended for work had RFIDs affixed to your
conference badge and the had RFID readers at the doors to each of the
meeting rooms. Talk about getting you coming and going!
