    Question goats & spiders

    There was a scientist in a discussion with Philip Adams on Late Night Live this week, talking about goats that are genetically modified with spiders, so that the goats hair is hundreds of times stronger than normal. Seems they want to use it to make bullet-proof vests! What will they think of next?

    If they make better bullet proofing, they'll just come up with better bullets...

    I guess they didn't think about that, just that spider webs are strong constructions when used with goats hair!
