Yum… tool!
It’s one of those things where you say, “Hey, I already have a multitool, but … mmmm tasty!”

Engineers Create Transparent Material as Strong as Steel
Engineering researchers at the University of Michigan have created a material similar to “transparent aluminum,” the fantastic substance described by Scotty in Star Trek IV. In the Oct. 5 issue of Science, Nicholas Kotov showed that clay is good for far more than making bricks and expensive skincare products. The earthen material is made up of phenomenally strong nanometer-sized particles. When arranged neatly between thin layers of a sticky but weak plastic, the tiny bits of dirt act as the ultimate reinforcements — giving the ordinary material extraordinary strength. The sturdy composite could be used in lightweight armor or aircraft.
See, Michigan is good for something! I want my transparent aluminum, please.
Whoa that thing looks pretty impressive!
OO.. I want.
Um what is this multitool called and where does one buy it?
It’s the Leatherman Skeletool CX. I guess I should link it :) *edit*
Is this multi tool the enemy of He-Man?
Would you be less or more likely to pick one up if it were?
I… don’t know actually.
In the Star Wars universe, it’s “transparisteel.” This thrills me muchly.
Leeloo Dallas mul-ti-tool!
Oh my. That is rather sexy, isn’t it? It looks like it’s made of The Future :-)
