I read this as "Scientists build grapevine from scratch."


I think it is time to go to bed.

Don't feel bad; I thought it said, "scientists build gangrene from scratch". And I spent a long moment wondering what the hell that meant; did they create a new variation of it in a lab somewhere?

Anyway, yes, cool article!

I am glad I am not the only one plagued by weird eyesight and random thoughts. On the motorcycle forum I belong to we call this "turning a thread to pudding," a process that is both expected and respectable. However, I am new here and apologize for derailing this thread... although judging by the video and comments above I suspect no one minds.

Closer and Closer we come to bringing Sci-fi and Fantasy to life!

Manipulation of a gemstone created a limited distance of refraction of light that passes thought, that can transfer heat without melting. we have Lightsabers lol.

A Metal thats as hard as Titanium but as light as tin. we have Mithril

Marmite that isnt horrible!

Possibilitys are Endless!

There is nothing that will make marmite taste better, short of an A-bomb.

Mithril is actually platinum (Trust me - I'd have to give a history lesson to prove it, and I'm at work right now so I'm not entirely sober...)

Light sabers, on the other hand....
