Bad news for the non-exhibitionists

Everything started from this (spamming) e-mail:

How to detect a 2-way mirror when we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc.? How many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror, or actually a 2-way mirror? There have been many cases of people installing 2-way mirrors in female changing rooms. It is very difficult to positvely identify the surface by just looking at it. It's time to get paranoid. So, how do we determine with any amount of certainty? Well, once again, I am here to enlighten you. Just conduct this simple test:

Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if there is a gap between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then it is a genuine mirror. However, if your fingernail directly touches the image of your nail, then beware, for it is a 2-way mirror! You can further ascertain the nature of the suspect surface by hurling an object (e.g. a chair!) at it. The chair will go through.

So remember, every time you see a mirror, do the "fingernail test". It doesn't cost you anything. It is simple to do, and it might save you from getting "visually raped"!

Share this with your girlfriends.

Snopes says the "fingernail test" might work, but not necessarily.

Sena oħra

Meta jasal nofs April, jien inħobb nagħmel il-monologi. Jekk intom ma tħobbuwhomx, mel'allura taqrawx aktar u għalqu din it-tieqa immedjatament (jaf tisplodi wara xi ħames minuti wkoll).

1982 - twelid. Michael Jackson tħajjar isir abjad u Spielberg ivvinta l-ET. Kont nara ħafna nies jilbsu mitt elf kulur u jmorru għand il-barbier biex itellgħu xagħarhom bħal mixtla fil-ġnien tal-Argotti. Apparti Charles Arrigo (Alla jaħfirlu) jirrakkonta r-rumanzi tax-xabla u t-turban fuq Xandir Malta, it-televiżjoni kienet għanqbuda ta' stazzjonijiet Sqallin – minn Roberto il Baffo sas-saqqijiet tal-Eminflex sa’ Mike bongiorno bir-rota tal-fortuna tiegħu. Qbiżna fin-disgħinijiet u Cobain deffes xi arma f’ħalqu... li probabilment ħalla effett fuq dak il-ġgant (metaforikament u litteralment) ta’ Quentin Tarantino għax ħlief jordna glalen ta’ demm ma bediex jagħmel (għall-films, s'intendi). Ħallietna Diana, ħallietna Tereża (is-soru) u dorna għall-2000 (għal xi raġuni kulħadd jiftakar x’kien qed jagħmel meta qalbet is-sena 2000! Jien niftakar ukoll... imma mhux ħa ngħid... għax hekk.). Fl-2004 bdiet l-avventura tiegħi fiċ-ċivil. Fl-2007 bagħatu għalija Kastilja u dak li kellu jkellimni ma setgħux isibuh. Ġie ieħor li ma tantx deher ħa gost bija u qalli li rrid nitla' ġirone ieħor. Minn dakinhar għadda ftit aktar minn sena.

Nista' nkompli nitħaddet x’se jiġri imma m'għandix flus għall-qarrejja tax-xorti.

Min qal li l-blogs addictive? Wara xi 3 xhur erġajt ġejt s'hawn inlaħħam lil dal-blog megħlub.

U min qal li l-materjaliżmu ħażin u jwittilek t-triq għal ħruq tal-infern (u ta' Sant'Antnin)? Dan l-aħħar persuna b'qalb twajba u kbira daqs il-ħofra ta' Guatemala għoġobha tirregalali l-kbir iPhone. Ma nista' ngħid xejn fuqu li diġa ma ntqalx - biċċa inġinerija li kważi kważi timbuttalek demgħa bil-kommozzjoni.
