Amazing..... but true

To continue on from Jedi Chris' amazing thread about water
levels, i read the other day that a spiders silk is
practically the strongest material in the world. Five times
stronger than steel apparently.

"Wow" i hear you say... however, they are utilising this
natural phenomenon by injecting a gene from a certain
spider, (with one of the strongest webs) into a female goats
egg at conception.

Wait for it, wait for it... then when the goat is born, it
secretes spiders silk in small doses into its milk, which is
then separated using a special machine to make lots of
spiders silk.

This is then used to make a futuristic body armour, where a
sheet of it as thick as nylon will stop a bullet dead.

Plus, the company doing it is taking over the world of the
production of fishing line, as it is so strong.

Amazing i thought.

Oh, sorry, "Aphex Twin is cool, rdj album is the best."

Ah, i seemed to have posted it twice.

It's not that good, i know, but it was a mistake, honest!

A goat?

Or one of my spider-goats?
