I think one of my favorite gadgets on my computer's homepage has to be the Discovery News widget. Every day I can peruse it to see new scientific advances, who went extinct today, and who was recently exhumed from the grave

Yesterday I read this article, about the possibility of invisible cloaking material. I have to admit I was pretty fascinated. I continued to be fascinated by the idea for the rest of the evening and today, with thinking about everything I would like to make invisible.

1. Head Gear was the first thing that came to my mind. I don't know why, I never had to wear head gear braces as a kid, and I don't even think orthodontists still use them.
But, come on, if you have ever seen a teenager who had to wear headgear, you know you felt totally sorry for them.

I realize head gear is probably about the most random thing one could think of in regards to invisibility. I can't help what goes on inside my head, people.

2. This led me into the idea of make-up concealer. What better way to conceal that awful zit the size of my big toe, than to conceal it with invisibility?

3. Next my line of thought led me into even better reasoning. If one could conceal zits, what else could be concealed with invisibility? How about love handles??? Or all those other wobbly bits we all hate? Way more comfortable than control top nylons or girdles. Just add a couple strips of invisibility lining to your sides, throw on that bikini and wow!

I really really want invisibility strips. Especially after all the m&ms I just ate while writing this.
