And you thought you worked hard. How about collecting one million wild spiders from telephone poles? For 4 years? To produce a piece of cloth 11 ft x 4 ft? Just the latest in the “hard to get” category, and it is on display at the American Museum of Natural History. It is supposed to be stronger than Kevlar, but don’t expect to see it yet in military haz-mat suits – unless we only need one per year. Maybe that’s the answer to get us out of the war. “Sorry, no equipment, those damn spiders just aren’t working hard enough.” Thanks for the link, Danny Piassick.)
