So, I decided to research kevlar and found Nova episode on Hulu that is about "making stuff stronger." They have put spider DNA in goats to make them produce spider silk proteins. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> OK, what good will that do?

Wait a minute, you're saying that the goats give milk that solidifies into a thread? I think I'm confused here.

Zombie ants!!! They are real.
It is caused by a fungus called Cordyceps> If this stuff adapts to attack humans like so many other animal diseases have in the past ... I'm ready are you.

I saw or read somewhere once about a fungus or something attacking the brain of ants. Is that what you're talking about JJ?

They have gotten the goat milk up to 2 percent spider proteins. In a few more generations they are hoping for 10 percent. Much easier than harvesting it from spiders.
