- Otto, on 10/11/2007, -2/+67I didn't think it was physically possible, but this plastic both sucks and blows.
- Ninjab3ar, on 10/11/2007, -6/+28sorry for blocking you.....
- zackkitzmiller, on 10/11/2007, -1/+22My only regret: Not digging you down before blocking you.
- FearlessFreep, on 10/11/2007, -0/+19Sand people are easily startled, but they'll soon be back, and in greater numbers
- zephc, on 10/11/2007, -2/+20So which is, Plastic, are you going to attract or repel water? America deserves a plastic that won't keep changing its properties whenever its convenient.
- joebob, on 10/11/2007, -1/+16"It's Megamaid. She's gone from suck to blow!"
- weasler7, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10Does this remind anyone of moisture farms in Star Wars? Only a few more years until we start seeing those little sand people popping up everywhere...
- Beaver6813, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10Exactly. I didn't read it last year so i'll read it this year...
- ChronicColonic, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8My luck would be that I would apply this stuff to my car and the rain would not stop...ever.
I think the constant water attraction would cause this. - Speed, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8We're at war, plastic, you can't sit on the fence
- spritom, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Just make sure to get one that speaks Bacchi.
- iherbivore, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6How about the Slip-n-Stop, where a slippery part gets your momentum going only to be stopped by a skin-tearingly-sudden stop 5 feet later?
- transeth, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6I want this in a thin film layer to put on my car! No more waxing.
- lndmn01, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5um, they already have something.... it's called a magnetic field.
- McTendo, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6@smashsource
Bitch got blocked. - Patogrande, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2But I was going to go into Toshi station to pick up some power converters!
- slapthemonkey, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Lets see the results and then only will comment.
- zephc, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I think they call those water park slides.
- thcobbs, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Hrrrm... now if only they could do something like this that works with plasma, we might just have the insulation we would need for a fusion reactor.
- silverchrysalis, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1a very rare chortling bird of the West Pacific Islands
- thcobbs, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Yes, but it requires energy to maintain it at the level required.... This would be a static, non-powered containment.... Seems like it would be much better to me.
- knobtwiddler, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2yawn
- Scotty87, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2anyone else facinated by the perfect circle those dropplets are?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1By this time next year, the Slip-n-Slide v2.0 will be the new hot item. Buy your stock now! Now 90% slipperier!
- brwright, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1What is a boon?
- TRScheel, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1"Well, that'll give us a richer harmony."
Obi-Wan agrees, "Oh yeah, no, it's gonna sound fantastic." - Heavypettingzoo, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1NOW I CAN FINALLY BUILD MY 200 FT LONG EPIC SLIP AND SLIDE!!!
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1I can think of a few ways this could be used to create cheap energy...
Water repellant at the bottom of a container to speed evaporation, water attractor on some sort of funnel to channel the collected water into a dynamo... add a little sunlight. Hm? - Raydr, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2But will it blend...with pet food?
- xtmno3, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1Just make sure there is none underneath it when you put the coating down...
- fober, on 10/11/2007, -5/+1I did a little searching on the net as well, but I couldn't find anything more recent.
I suppose there's not much more than research going on right now. - themoose, on 10/11/2007, -6/+1So.. overall it does ***** all?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -8/+3Oh, wow, scientists have invented what has existed in nature for millions of years...
phospholipids. - antoniojvr, on 10/11/2007, -6/+1Wow. Just like Democrats to tolerance. HAHAHA I'm so political KBITHNX
- ziki, on 10/11/2007, -8/+3Too good it doesn't attract feces..........?
- rafakr, on 10/11/2007, -6/+1Too bad it doesn't atract beer !
- Astaro, on 10/11/2007, -14/+1I bet microsoft starts using it for packaging...
- fober, on 10/11/2007, -15/+1Seeing the "_3" in the Digg link made me wonder (along with the fact that the article is dated May 30, 2006):
