With all this talk about space elevators and whatnot, people seem to have forgotten a good purpose for carbon nanotubes. The strongest dental floss ever could be produced. Because of its incredible strength it would soon become the most useful stuff after duct tape. Imagine: "OH, well... I don't have any rope but I can tow your car with this dental floss in my pocket". Makes an ideal present, and an easily disposable murder weapon. Yes... nanotube dental floss will be grand.

       I gotta pay more attention to stupid spelling errors, any good ideas for that?

       Even when nanotube becomes as cheap as dental floss, I doubt it would be suitable for that purpose.

       On the plus side, it will help keep your teeth their whitest. On the minus-- it might cut your head off.

       Reading that gave me the same sensation as watching someone chew on a ball of tin foil.
Have you ever seen how fast a wire saw can cut through a tree trunk. Ouch.
