Invisiblemanitus

(Sad Slow Piano)

Invisiblemanitus is a tragic illness that strikes 1 in a billion Americans each year. Unable to be seen except for the items they wear, these invisible Americans cannot find work, a roof over their heads, or even food. Invisible people are struggling to stay alive on our streets, until now, hopeless for a cure. But with recent medical breakthroughs, we are close to a cure for Invisiblemanitus. With your generous donation we can continue the cutting edge science necessary to prevent this dread disease. Won't you please help people like Frank Jenkison, veteran, Father of 2, and yet living on the streets for over 3 years? It would mean so much to Frank and the several others like him - it's impossible to know for sure how many Invisible People there are, but that's why it's so important to give now so we can find out, and cure them. Thank you.

Preying

Evolution wants ever better killers, apparently. To what end, one wonders?

Cloaked

A real live invisibility cloak, developed by a Professor in Tokyo. It's straightforward enough - cameras on the front and back of the suit display the image on the opposite side, such that it appears you are seeing through the cloak/person directly. And I suppose you are, via the cameras. But this cloaking suit wouldn't fool anyone, not yet.

Theoretically, invisibility would require only one of the following thee tricks: Allow photons to pass through the object to be invisible (difficult, what this cloak attempts), OR, you don't allow photons to bounce back in a certain direction (this is the basis of stealth radar technology), though this would never be fully "invisible". Or, you absorb all photons and don't let any go by, but then the object in question would be black - very black. And unless it was night, hardly "invisible".

Invisible

Invisibility might be the ideal state for a redshirt, considering the hazards of the role. Or even if you subscribe to number 62 from the "Rules for Living a Long Life": Keep your head down and stay out of the way.

However, invisibility is pretty boring. There's only so many times sneaking up on people in the woods is amusing - quite a few, I'm sure, but not enough to make it worthwhile overall. I assume.

Something to consider if the situation ever comes up.
