So Bearproof is referring to the animal kind of bear? I thought it was for fending off big hairy guys.

I think that the photograph of the device should have been posted on a different thread, namely "Ebay photos - what were they thinking of?

I am not much of a believer in homemade devices like this one, although I do think that inspiration can come in a dream. It is somewhat surprising to me to realize that, whatever kind of crazy idea you might put forth, you can find a group of believers.

This so-called "Angel Light" is no breakthrough. The technology to see through objects has been around for years. When I was young, you could even buy it by mail-order from an ad on the back of many comic books... X-ray glasses.

No, it's a bare-proof suit. An advanced opaque polymer prevents you from being naked for as long as you're wearing it.

Hey, this thing and this guy, or this guy and his thing, are in North Bay! That's where I grew up, man!

Must be a NORAD thingy... or a NORAD guy and his thingy...

Yes.

I take it this Scarborough the Bear-man hails from is not the (original) one in North Yorkshire, but some sort of copy?

I did!!! ::waving hand wildly:: It was so much fun watching those little specks float around. I knew, though, that if I were to look at them under a microscope, that they absolutely did look like the Sea Monkeys on the packaging. Crown and all. I was very sad to find out that they looked like this:

See? No crown. It was very traumatic for me.

a microwave unit and plasma intermixed with carbon dioxide

Is that like blood plasma, or the 1 million degree type plasma that would vapourise his garage?

No, but I did get a lot of free toys that came in boxes of breakfast cereal.

Rimshot.

That's why my invention was better. It exists and defies science and logic.
