Not sure if this idea has been investigated by any1 else. Imagine is you could weave a suit out of optical fibers in such a way that the end point of one fiber is always 180 degrees to the other end and both are perpendicular to the surface of your body! the effect would be that light from any direction would be sent "through" you/the fibers and emerge at the opposite side, making you invisible!
Idea is copyright ofcourse, contact me for rights

The media is not threatened by Muslims anger over the publication of those cartoons depicting the cartoonists impression of our Prophet (SAW). All the anger and reaction is just feeding the media monster, giving it more to report on and free advertising for those daring to re-print the cartoons, for example the cheap-shot Mail and Guardian article, which may even get a few more hits because of this reaction.
To quote a moulana at Mayfair Jummah masjid, "There's a lesson in everything..." and one of the lessons from this event is that we as Muslims are partly responsible for giving the wrong impression of our Prophet (SAW). We boast that we try to imitate our Prophet's ways and actions, but do we really do it wholeheartedly or do we just choose aspects which suit us? On the other hand, I don't think that the cartoonist had any intention of portraying a true reflection. He simply expressed the view created by Bush and co., spread by the media and shared by much of the non-Muslim world.
In the end Freedom of Expression and Democracy will prevail as licences to kill, Human dignity and respect for humanity on the other hand will be the victim.

Alloy XC HT
I finally worked out that it stands for Cross Country Hard Tail. X = Cross is something uncommon in South Africa, but apparantly common-knowledge in the USA where I saw traffic signs saying Railway Xing. Finally realised then that Xing Mpeg player probably stood for Crossing Mpeg player and not Zing Mpeg player.

What if EVERYTHING is made up of Electromagnetic waves? It maybe that mass as we know it is just made up of very very high frequency electromagnetic waves. The theory is consistent with the particle nature of light in that EM waves start to show matter-like properties as the frequency increases. Has anyone managed to measure/produce EM waves with frequencies beyond that of Gamma rays? (10^24Hz). It just sounds so simple that it probably is true! Occam's Razor
