There's lots of interesting threads about how hard this is and how much help he received but no one is asking the important question - why is he wearing a hard hat?


You're all wrong. Wrong, I say!

I once wore a baseball hat for a month, day in, day out, sleep, etc. However first, I ripped out the liner, and placed tinfoil inside, replacing the liner afterwards.

I wanted to empirically test -- to see, would I behave differently? Think differently? So I also kept a journal.

Problem was, did I EVER SWEAT! And this was in the winter too.

The solution? A hat which is not directly in contact with the head! And has space under it to breath. Like this hard-hat!

Clearly, this kid knows the truth, knows the forces aligned against us all, and this hardhat, in this pic, is his message to us all.

Beware. Beware of them, of those, placing thoughts in our minds!


And a lab coat, but no safety glasses. There is a face shield on the table but it doesn't seem to be the kind that goes with the hard hat.

Obviously a staged photo, there is even a Newton's cradle, like in Hollywood movies.

There are a few pictures of him working, he is just wearing normal clothes, and no hard hat.


Because Guiness wanted a good photo for their book.


Because Science. /s
