AHAHAHAHAH  
One of the funniest things I've ever seen on the BBC website can be found here. As a bonus, it's pretty interesting too.

Also, check out this ace article on future materials. In case you've never seen it before, I suggest checking out Aerogel's Wiki page. It has to be the most awesome material ever.
Check out this video about it, too:

I got to play with some Aerogel once. (By play with, I really mean fondle a sample of the stuff.) It was pretty cool to see.

That's pretty cool. Did your hands get dried out? I hear it's a pretty powerful desiccant.

It was a pretty brief experience, if I'm being honest. :) I think my hands survived the encounter okay.
