Ok, since this discussion seems to have decayed away into nothing substantial whatsoever, I will admit that my apartment in Moscow *does* have aluminum foil over most of the windows! Since the apartment faces south, this seems to be the only way to keep the apartment cool in the summer in a city where air conditioning barely exists. It also presumably has the side effect of making the laser-listening devices employed by various security agencies (KGB/FSK/CIA/?) less effective because the aluminium foil taped to the inside of the windows significantly distorts the sound vibrations.
I can see the headlines now... Extropians believe aluminium foil over the windows of your home protects from Alien Influence...
Help, I'm buried in mis-memes and I can't get up.
