I can easily imagine Hephaestus in there forging a weapon of spectacular power.

Awesome stuff

The most placid resident of the Underworld (Underdark, Paths of Khyber, Darklands, etc.)Wow!
Yah.
If only it was 50 feet long and hungry for human flesh!

100 times stronger than structural steel.
"Our research establishes graphene as the strongest material ever measured, some 200 times stronger than structural steel," mechanical engineering professor James Hone, of Columbia University, said in a statement.
100 times has me shocked 200 times has me speechless.
Graphene is taken from graphite, which is made up of weakly bonded layers of carbon
Graphene is composed of carbon atoms arranged in tightly bound hexagons just one atom thick
Three million sheets of graphene on top of each other would be 1mm thick
The band structure of graphite was first theorised and calculated by PR Wallace in 1947, though for it to exist in the real world was thought impossible
Due to the timing of this discovery, some conspiracy theorists have linked it to materials at the Roswell "crash site"
In 2004, teams including Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov demonstrated that single layers could be isolated, resulting in the award of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2010
It is a good thermal and electric conductor and can be used to develop semiconductor circuits and computer parts. Experiments have shown it to be incredibly strong
To hell with graphene circuitry, I want my graphene bike frame NOW!

two words : f#!& yeah!
100 times stronger than structural steel.
Awesome stuff and even better: the raw material for graphene - carbon - is quite plentiful. Once the manufacturing processes are scaled up this could prove very interesting.

No doubt. We can fight global warming by making crap. All we need are nano robots to reduce the carbon emissions created while manufacturing it.

No Really: SWAT Team Raids House at 6 AM and Handcuffs Father of Three Young Kids to Execute a Dept. of Education Search Warrant for Estranged Wife's Defaulted Student Loans
Seriously. I don't understand why you guys aren't in the streets marching right now.
I removed a post. PG-13, please.
I didn't do it.
Problem solving with urine
Man, that chimp loves peanuts.
100 times stronger than structural steel.
I heard a theory a while ago that the only reason it does not look like we were going to make mechs was because the darn things would probably collapses under their own weight. This might be the solution for that...

Prescription marijuana can still get you fired in Washington
Which means any prescription should get you fired...wait a minute, it doesn't?
ACLU Washington needs to argue this one again.
Yeah, that's such crap.
On the other hand, a co-worker of mine was pulled over for blowing a stop sign while he was smoking a joint in Mass.
The officer took away his weed, gave him a $65 ticket for his moving violation, another one for $100 for his weed and sent him on his way!

What about bird s#&&?
Ah, so that's why the BBC came to Oregon. Seriously, why is everyone picking it up? People piss in reservoirs all the time.
I get the "yuck" factor, but it's a really low chance of doing anything. This is just going to be one more brick in the wall for Portland water's minimal treatment (this is different from the Bull Run source, which is totally untreated and tastes great, but similar enough).

Holy Crapcakes on Fire!
Yeah that was on the news last night. We have a lot of golf courses out this way. I can't play worth smurf though.

Never having played golf . . .
How many golf courses are there in the country? How many shots of this difficulty? How many people have taken those shots? How long has this place been open? And finally, isn't it likely that eventually two people would get such a difficult hole in one in a row?
You've rolled two 20s in a row before, probably. Sorry to killjoy, if that was the effect. It's still like winning the lottery or finding 10 four-leaved clover in an hour (actually, that's not anywhere near as unlikely as winning the lottery).

It's like when the wife and I flew home to Louisiana for Memorial Day Weekend - I'd just heard a month or so before about the TSA agent they busted in Philly for child porn. Can you imagine how many kids that perv must have "checked"?

Yup. I mention that kind of thing in the Government folly thread.
