I am always looking for something funny to throw at you guys. Even though I do like to reflect or make a serious post from time to time I love the funny stuff. Like pictures like this one.
Maybe it's not that funny, but I think it is... but I'm easily amused. But I'm not posting it just for its own sake. I actually found a somewhat related story to justify this picture. Read it here.On a more serious note, the first thing I thought of when I read the story is this. Or more specifically this. A little bit of a scary thought, right? Plus we all remember this and don't want to turn out like this...
If you know me well, you know I love technology (but not as much as you, you see... always and forever, etc...)(click that one only with caution, potential time waster) and not wanting to sound like a Luddite here, but maybe somethings are best left undiscovered. That is, unless of course they get that to work... in which case sign me up for an invisibility cloak baby. What do you guys think about the idea of an actual working invisibility cloak?

I imagine that they would present some serious privacy issues. I would think that they would always be a closely controlled item if they ever became a reality. Just think of all the trouble Harry Potter got into with his, if it wasn't for Tonks, he would have been petrified on that train forever.
I would be down with an invisibility but not an invisibility ring.
Harry Potter almost died, but didn't. Gollum ended up like burnt toast and Froto got his finger bit off. Not to mention the dead king and dead people/orks/hobbits/wizards/dwarfs/weird human and ork hybrid things/trees/tomatoes/pirates/persians/ghosts/etc.
Yikes...cloak me please.
Good point KVB, I'd forgotten about Harry almost being stuck on the train. It almost seems like people would have to have to come with some other technology to counter this (ie glasses to see body heat etc.) In the post I was making a half joke... this is scary but if they actually get this working, well screw give me one too.
They already have the heat sensing stuff, albeit, not in glasses form open to the public. And Tim, I am sure that if the cloak had been forged in secret by Voldamort in the cracks of Mount Doom and all his evil was weaved into it, and it was made to rule the other cloaks, Harry may well have sucummbed to the draw of evil.
That reminds me, I'll have to post my statue of Voldamort.
I would love love love an invisibility cloak man! I am a stalker at heart and an IC would give me the ultimate stalking power! Creepy right? I know!
The thought excites me in a sick and twisted way. Man, who knew this side of me exsisted! The only way it would work though is if I had the only one. If everyone else had one then I'd FREAK! People being able to come into my house all invisible and stufff. No way,that totally scares, so i'd have to agree with kvb.
can you tell kvb is a law student.
