    Well it was a biscuit company that paid for all that, so I guess I can see how they'd need that information.

    Well it's a funny old thing, science

    Who knows, all this seemingly useless study might bear some interesting things in the future.

    There could be some spin-offs in all sorts of materials science. One should never underestimate pure science: it could lead anywhere.

    Mind you, I guess Herr Einstein might have some reservations about that.

    Right, I'm off for a drink. What sort of biscuit is recommended for really crappy boxed-wine at 25 rand a 5 litre sack, that's about 2 quid or 3 USD.
