The science fiction story of a man who could completely disappear with the use of a special cloak, has just been deemed a non-fiction reality. News broke early this week that scientists have in fact discovered a solution to the ever pressing problem of visibility. I never knew that it was such a problem, or that there were even teams of scientists working to solve it. Crooks, pervs and murderers will be thrilled!
Well, though I do not fall into any of the above categories, I am equally, if not more anxious about this fabric's debut than anyone. Honestly, if I had an extra $200,000 laying around, I would have considered using it to take a trip into space with Paul Allen, but now that I know that my other fantasy is closer to my fingertips- my priorities have shifted- I will buy an invisible cloak because:
a.) its more cost effective- I can use it over and over
b.) I don't have to share it with anyone
c.) though encountering extraterrestrials is somewhere on my list of things to do before I die, invisibility just seems so much safer.
I might not be a criminal or have any mastermind schemes up my sleeve for this cloak, but I will tell you, owning one of these babies will never get old. There are so many cool things you can do!
1. Go to work naked
2. Trip people on the sidewalk
3. Drive- just to see the looks on the faces of people thinking the car is driving itself
4. Pretend I'm a ghost
5. Scare people
6. Sneak onto airplanes for free trips
7. I can be rude and still maintain my squeaky clean image
