Actually We were playing a tripping game and I was busy tripping while they seemed to be multitasking , i.e. watching your Bucky Paper video.

How do you make a video about Buckypaper (which is derived from a carbon structure material named buckminsterfullerene) and not mention that it's named for  Richard Buckminster Fuller, one of the greatest inventor/author/ philosophers of the twentieth century??     Fuller invented the geodesic dome, among other concepts.

Thanks for the clarification Aegis, I was about to assume it was named after Buck Rogers since it's so futuristic

The more weight placed on top of a geodesic dome the stronger the structure becomes...
Another little known tidbit i learned about way too many years ago
R. Buckminster Fuller was a pioneer indeed...in more ways than one.

BC -- Buck Rogers was a darned fine guess!

I did not know that tidbit, Patio -- yet another example of how you are smart and I am s m r t (as Homer Simpson would spell it!)
