    Silly Week - red light cameras

    I've just received a spam email about a device that stops you being caught by red light cameras.

    Is this something that you wear or a device for your car?

    Does anybody know if they work?

    Isn't that a Klingon invention on Star Trek?

    All their ships used to have cloaking devices that rendered them invisible!

    I think the Klingon Empire copied this from Jack the Ripper. He always wore a cloak when he visited the red light district - and he was never found

    So, all you do if you're going to go through a red light is throw a cloak over your car - nothing could be simpler...

    .. except asking someone else to throw a cloak over the camera

    Japanese scientist invents 'invisibility cloak'

    A Japanese scientist has developed a coat which appears to make the wearer invisible.
    http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm...atestheadlines

    The illusion was part of a demonstration of optical camouflage technology at Tokyo University.

    It is the brainchild of Professor Susumu Tachi who is in the early stage of research he hopes will eventually make camouflaged objects virtually transparent.

    The photograph was taken through a viewfinder that uses a combination of moving images taken behind the wearer to give a transparent effect.

    It's hoped the technology will be useful for surgeons frustrated their own hands and surgical tools can block their view of operations and pilots who wish cockpit floors were transparent for landings.
