Heh. If Arnold had wrapped the wet towel just a *little* lower down over his eyes, he could have hidden himself from the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal too. What a frood!

Seriously... Y'know, last time I discussed Total Recall at work, and how bizarre the head-wrapping scene was, someone suggested "Hey, Arnie must've been using some gee-whiz, futuristic towel with foil lining to block the signal bug." For some reason, my brain went and said "Yeah, that must be it, that's the ticket!" Ouch.
