I'm continuously amazed at the uses of scotch tape.

It's things like this that make me wonder if I should've gone into UB's Ph.D Chemistry program after finishing my bachelors. Then I realize that I would be running the same experiment over and over and over writing a ludicrous amount of papers, which just isn't my thing. I hate disenchantment.

200 times stronger than steel. If they can figure out how to harness it, there could be the next building material for cars, planes, space ships and whatnot.

 

[crazybob]

Do you think they would figure out a way to use it in medicine?

definitely but much more applicable to computer science as of now.

They could probably use it to make really strong, thin casts...I'm thinking for a tib/fib fracture, you could probably put your pants over the cast. Try doing that with plaster!

Investors get your checkbooks out! Does anyone know if they have sold the patent to any companies? I would be interested in sinking some $$ into this.

On Wikipedia it says that some Chinese or Japanese researchers found that it is active in killing bacteria.

 

[Its Z]

Golf clubhead, planes, guns, it could replace plastic...

Of course this depends on ease of manufacturing.

as far as it being bactericidal...that's no big deal... many things around us kill bacteria. Problem is, it kills us to. I'm not sure injecting Graphene into our veins would be a good thing.

Samsung's 0.3" TV is now going to be 0.3 mm.

I was just looking at those for Xmas. They're unreal! Going to mount one above a fireplace...I can't get over how thin they are. Not sure what size to get yet though.

nothing less than 60"

ehhh, I don't want to overwhelm the room and detract from the fireplace too much. Think that'll be too big. Nice part is I'm having them put in HDMI hookups on the wall where I'll mount the TV...so no ugly wires running down.

 

[Its Z]

I have a 27" and 36" Sony Tube TVs I can't get rid of. In fact, I can't even pick up the 36" TV.. It takes 2 grown men.

You should've just thrown'em out the window after this weekend's games. As a matter of fact, you should've thrown them out the window as soon as you saw Kiffin's pathetic excuse of a man face on the screen with a USC visor.

I might could throw the 27 incher. No way in hell it's humanly possible to throw the 36" tube TV.

Yeah, it's all cyclical. Few years ago I watched Florida stuff Oklahoma several times on the goal line. This time around it was our turn to implode inside the 5. We'll be back soon!

Why? You think Keaton or Val Kilmer make a better Batman?

 

[owlegrad]

I missed whatever was supposed to be great about that movie. I often don't "get" movies though.

Edit: I liked The Social Network.

Val Kilmer's best role was Doc Holiday.
