Saw this link on Comic Book Movie News and thought it was fun and fitting our theme: http://jalilaessaidi.com/2-6g-329ms/2/ Basically, it details an art/science project where bulletproof spider-silk was harvested from those genetically modified goats and woven into a matrix between two living layers of human skin. Then they shot at it with a gun, because why wouldn't you? | |
