    incidentally, 'nicholas fang' sounds like the name of a supervillian.

    Also, isn't sound already invisible?

    @OMG! Horses!: OMG! Smarty Pants!


    This is what happens when we have commenters on geek sites - eventually one sneaks in that actually thinks about this stuff.


    Well, I raise your smartiness with an official definition:


    Not easily noticed or detected; inconspicuous

    Oh, sure - I had to take the third definition listed, but that is beside the point. Suck it Mr. Horses!

    @OMG! Twinkies!:


    I was going to say that myself. Though, without the block quote that I can't seem to get to work. And, regardless, it implies invisible to SONAR detection.

    While sonar for ships seems like a obvious application, I'd buy clothes made out of this in a heartbeat. I've always wanted to be one of those people who could just slip into a room unnoticed, without making a big ruckus and knocking things over. A full body suit made out of this material could go a long way to helping me realize that dream.

    @OMG! Helmets!: I suppose underwear could be handy for the "silent but deadly" effect following a big helping 'o beans.

    @OMG! Herpes!: This won't stop you from making noise; it'll just stop you from hearing anyone else as all their sound waves bounce off of you. Unfortunately, your dream is still a long ways off... until they find a way to reverse puberty.

    @spannu: At least I won't be able to hear them snicker as I walk in dressed like the robot from Lost In Space.


    @SoaringDisbelief: @shopperciti.com: Nothing insidery about it. It's an homage. Normally, I'm a nonconformist, but when it's for a good cause, what the heck.
