It's amazing the stuff that is found whilst trying to find a solution for a problem. The company I used to work for got a Gov't grant to work on a glass that would turn black instantly if exposed to a nuclear blast. It was to be used for B52 windscreens. Unfortunately they failed, the glass darkened too slowly, and a large percentage of people wearing glasses are happy to pay for the technology that darkens their glasses when they go out into the sunshine. Some-one else eventually solved the B52 windscreen problem. The world's most-used glue was invented by 3M, a glue that sticks so poorly that millions of people buy stick-its every day. But hey, wasn't all that research just silly? So do you think there was any point in going to the moon George?

That way they'd only lose the uncovered eye and still be able to see out of the other one. Now that I say that I'm pretty sure that'd be a myth. -- Elsie.
