Evil Plot to make us all cows: "anti-biotics"

Aerogel from JPL. The stuff practically doesn't exist, it's 99.8% air? My favorite line is, if you used it to insulate your house, a single candle could heat your whole house, even if it's 20 below. In fact, you would cook, and be forced to blow the candle out.

Using Microwaves as a "security" scanner?

Reuters Seems a little, um, strange to be pushing microwaves on us as "safe" when good'ole Dubyah & family is using the same tech for weapons. "No, we promise only to use it for GOOD things!"
