Comments on French Rubber

Wow! I especially like the green aspect.

They SAY it is green...until we discover in 30 years it releases toxins into the air that cause our lungs to turn to black mushy tar.

They should make condoms out of this.

Ooooh! Kinky!

Vegetable oil and urine? I discovered this myself a few nights ago.

But what if it repairs itself after it breaks?

The Future Is Now!

Plausible deniability, Will......

This story reminds me of the recent study that found that DNA strands can recognize and seek out similar molecular structure over distance, to help swap genes and recombine:

My reaction was pretty similar to Charles'. Holy shit!

I thought that it was nano-mites that were used to rebuild tokyo in that book. Call me picky, but microscopic little autonomous construction robots are a far cry from rubber and piss in my book.

I was thinking more of "Gravity's Rainbow"'s Imipolex-G, myself.

I thought the post WAS about self-repairing condoms at first, what with Mudede's frequent Europeanisms.

Clearly the superior usage for this rubber is self-repairing bicycle tyres.

Condoms are for pussies.

Since it's as yet unnamed, can I suggest calling it "rupbber". That's rubber with "p" in it.

according to Chas it is 'a rubber' they've invented, not 'rubber' so happy happy joy joy for all those shooting live ammo!!

Yeah I think that's why I thought condoms... "a" rubber

Million dollar question is whether or not it dries out. Here in Arizona, cars would last forever if not for gaskets, cracking dashes and rubber seals since there's no rust.

Man, do you remember the days when stuff would, like, break? Seriously, things would crack, split, chip, sometimes even SHATTER. And that was it, you couldn't use that thing anymore. You'd have to go out and buy a new one. That's some crazy ass shit, man. Musta sucked living in the dark ages like that.
