Am I the first to say "huh?"
Posted by: snickers | May 26, 2006 at 10:55 AM
I want one!
Posted by: sthnbelle | May 26, 2006 at 10:55 AM
So, no, then.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...........

Posted by: snickers | May 26, 2006 at 10:56 AM
Maybe I'm just stoopid, but I don't get it.
Sigh.

Of course, i can also see adolescent boys crossing with girls locker rooms so maybe that is not a good idea
Posted by: anon | May 26, 2006 at 10:56 AM
You're welcome, Dave
Posted by: Everybody | May 26, 2006 at 10:58 AM
Geez, Dave...I actually found the article, but I can't figure out how you posted that link (and of course I can't find it again).
Anyone ever tell you you have a sadistic streak???
(P.S. to other bloggers: yes, there is a link there ...somewhere)
Posted by: Betsy | May 26, 2006 at 10:58 AM
Ohhhh... I found it now. Cute...and very useful. I'll take 2, please
Posted by: 24-aholic | May 26, 2006 at 10:58 AM
It's a "." in white text, I think.
Posted by: snickers | May 26, 2006 at 10:59 AM

I vote they start out with an invisible Fabric Swatch.

"We will have a cloak after not too long," he said.
Jeez, and i thought I was tho only one malfunctioning this morning.
And... I could see it working on something small, but what if you tried to hide The Hulk with it?
Posted by: Sondra | May 26, 2006 at 11:00 AM
or maybe it's just a linked space " "...which is VERY devious...
Posted by: snickers | May 26, 2006 at 11:00 AM
Well, that was just downright sadistic! Makin' us search for the link. *mumblegrumble* Need more coffee...

You are very clever, you know? You should write a book or something. :-)
I think my car already has one of these things. Other people drive like they don't SEE ME THERE!!
Posted by: Cheryl | May 26, 2006 at 11:08 AM
Yaay! I figured it out! I guess I'm not so stupid after all!
Posted by: yanya8 | May 26, 2006 at 11:09 AM
Me too Cheryl - all the time. How is that possible? (rhetorical)
But I can't find the link, so....
*zips out to look again*
Posted by: Eleanor | May 26, 2006 at 11:10 AM
*zips back in*
OK. It's not there. You guys are just messing with me because I got posted TWO DAYS IN A ROW!!!
That's it, isn't it? :)
*waits for someone to admit it*
Posted by: Eleanor | May 26, 2006 at 11:12 AM
Ha! Despite their neck-breaking efforts, they are too late. Jack Bauer already has a hoodie of invisibility, DAMMIT! Stupid scientists couldn't shot a giant in the thigh...
Posted by: KaliAmanda | May 26, 2006 at 11:13 AM
*small voice*
never mind. i found it. so it's not all about ME, is it?
On-topic comment: Boy would I love to have one!

*Shhhhh .... Eleanor is falling for it ... nobody tell her about the conspiracy.*
Posted by: Cheryl | May 26, 2006 at 11:16 AM
Damn! Too late. :-)

hmmmm - OK since I am the designated perv of the blog...
How long before Trojan jumps on this technology?
and do we want them to???
Posted by: CoastRaven | May 26, 2006 at 11:19 AM
Hey! I just got a screen asking me enter a password before I could post a comment, to prove that I'm not a robot. I swear! It said "robot" ...
Have any other Dave Barry readers out there been accused of being robots? Just curious. It COULD explain certain book sales ...
Posted by: Cheryl | May 26, 2006 at 11:20 AM
Bravo, Dave. Took me a few seconds to find it...
Posted by: Jemmy | May 26, 2006 at 11:22 AM
Did we steal it from Joanne Linville.
*Gets back on the Geezer Bus
Posted by: Juggler of Geese | May 26, 2006 at 11:24 AM
Cheryl, that happens all the time to me,too. The car thing, I mean. The robot thing, too.
Posted by: Suzy Q | May 26, 2006 at 11:26 AM
Use explorer, then just hit tab until you see the blank space illuminated, then click it.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | May 26, 2006 at 11:26 AM
It has happened to me a couple of times.
And, El, just move the pointer to the space where the first letter would be, on the line between the first and third line.
Posted by: Sondra | May 26, 2006 at 11:27 AM
And according to the html code, the link is a space.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | May 26, 2006 at 11:29 AM
Oh.
I got distracted for a few minutes and several posts were posted. Well, good intentions have filled another pot hole on the road to He!!
Posted by: Sondra | May 26, 2006 at 11:30 AM
Invisibility shield--very cool!
Disney should start working on a display of the cloak for Tomorrowland. (If done correctly, it could be a very inexpensive display.)
Cheryl, yeah that comes up when you post comments in quick succession.

War of the Worlds II: A blog army of sarcastic, semi-productive invisible robots attacks the offices of the Miami Herald.
Probably goes straight to DVD, but still ...
Posted by: Cheryl | May 26, 2006 at 11:32 AM
Cheryl, you'll get used to it. It happens all the time.

I finally quit loosing my keys when I started always putting them in my right coat pocket.

Why is Dave posting my paycheck on his blog?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | May 26, 2006 at 11:40 AM
i didn't hear that story on CNN, yesterday.
Posted by: puppytoes | May 26, 2006 at 11:40 AM
anon, pro'lly not just ADOLESCENT boys (depending on how you define the term)...
Posted by: obi wan | May 26, 2006 at 11:41 AM
JoG:
Joanne Linville = Romulan commander in possession of cloaking device on Star Trek
I'd call you "Juggler of Geeks" but what does it say about me that I recognized the reference?
*slinks back to parents' basement*
Posted by: Ford79 | May 26, 2006 at 11:42 AM
LOL Ford. I like that. Juggler of Geeks.
But I like the geese one more.
Posted by: Juggler of Geese | May 26, 2006 at 11:52 AM
*slinks away quietly from JoG & Ford79. Wishes for cloaking device*
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | May 26, 2006 at 11:57 AM
Step over to the dark side Annie, it isn't a bad place.
Posted by: Juggler of Geese | May 26, 2006 at 12:02 PM
Ford79 - is your real name K-Fed?
Posted by: 24-aholic | May 26, 2006 at 12:04 PM
finally, i'll be able to shift my 2am nekkid yard work sessions to a more reasonable hour.
*wonders what it will look like with a tool poking through the cloak*

*dripped sauce all over shirt at lunch. needs one cloaking device delivered immediately.*
sigh ...
Posted by: Cheryl | May 26, 2006 at 12:47 PM
Johnny Urinalcakes,
What sort of 'tool'?
Posted by: Sondra | May 26, 2006 at 12:55 PM
I saw this article this morning, and I believe my reaction was "Why are they talking like Harry Potter was the first book ever to come up with the idea of an ivisibility cloak?"
Posted by: Estelle Chauvelin | May 26, 2006 at 01:20 PM
Estelle: Because in our culture, if you can't buy it at Wal-Mart, it doesn't exist.
Posted by: mudstuffin | May 26, 2006 at 01:25 PM
HINT: If you move your monitor in a certain direction and just the right colour of light reflects off the screen, you might be able to see the link. ;)
Posted by: Bob P. Antonietti | May 26, 2006 at 01:31 PM
YAY! for being part of "everybody"! I didn't have to find the link to know what it was about!!
Posted by: Sarah J | May 26, 2006 at 01:37 PM
I've been here all along, but no one has seen me because I already own one.

Girls locker rooms are going to be deserted...

Ford Prefec.. I mean, 79: snork on the Juggler of Geeks.
Commment relating to story: Doesn't he mean "STEALTH technology," not "STEALTHY technology"? Just wonderin'...
Posted by: mUFFLES | May 26, 2006 at 01:50 PM
So if I win PowerBall, will I have enough to get one?
Posted by: Boris the Spider | May 26, 2006 at 01:59 PM
How will I know if I clash with the cloak? How will I match my shoes to the cloak?
Posted by: Kat | May 26, 2006 at 02:53 PM
That's hot.
Posted by: ted | May 26, 2006 at 03:14 PM
I think I had a coat like that one once. Here, I've posted a picture of it:
* Pirateboy in Invisijacket *
In honor of one of my favorite M*A*S*H episodes, I'm calling my jacket "The Tuttle".
Posted by: Pirateboy | May 26, 2006 at 03:47 PM
Can I get Hermione under one? Wait, she's too young, or I'm too old... oh hell, i forgot which...
Posted by: OldNerdGuy | May 26, 2006 at 05:57 PM
a fine pun.
"Invisiblity cloak"
(Puns are the lowest form of humour.)
Posted by: Robert Pert | May 26, 2006 at 10:05 PM
Robert - humour is only as low as the audience it reaches. Booger!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | May 27, 2006 at 12:05 AM
Au Contraire, (IMHO) mon Booger!
Puns are the highest accomplishment in humor, b'cuz only the most intelligent minds can create them -- or understand the humor present ...
(Ya want intelligent design? Try doin' a bi-lingual pun that werks in both languages ... merely suggestin' a stimulatin' mental exercise ...)
Posted by: O. the U(manity) | May 27, 2006 at 01:06 AM
Hey Dave,
I made one of these but I can't remember
where I put it!!
