Chuca, Necessity is the mother of invention. (ChucaSpeak) On the PBS tv channel are many documentaries, some recently that had a narrator to guide us thru the events, along with the actual people that were involved. Some that come to mind at the present, are: (1) Research scientist(s) for ? Company in Germany, not telling the boss the "extra" work being done since it was already "knowned" that it was not possible, took the type of material that you wish you were standing on when a bolt of lighting from the sky was aimed at you, and cooled it veeeeeeeeeeery cold, and now you could replace all the gold wire in you house with it, and save on electricity. But, your monthly cooling bill would go up a little. (2)We all have and use the pencil graphite carbon, and we all wish we had some or lots more of the diamond type variety, and out of the blue skies, way out, from outer space came a new type with a shape of that of a soccer ball. If you think a diamond is hard, try kicking this one and see if you can hurt it. And, to the men, tell your wife to touch her diamond, and if she can, she wins, and if not, you win. A sure bet for you to win. (3)That math wiz in England that solved that math problem that really wasn't solved by that old timer. And he accomplished this after incorrectly solving it the first time. (4)That chemist that solved the shape of DNA because he really didn't like chemistry, but had the advanced degree, and needed to "look" busy for his boss, so rather than think, he said to the DNA "if the shoe fits, wear it". Doug go gpgi go up gpgi up wait wait, i haven't brought any yet Down GPGI Down, lower than MXAM, since they got better dirt
