Lynne, no doubt you're probably right......the video I posted above is an example of just that,
One of the ideas of these spider gene experiments is to developed a form of better bullet proof material, DARPA already has a very strong interest in this.... Reminds me of the mid 80's with the perfluorocarbon experiments and breathing liquid oxygen, (had an "aqaintance" who was very knowledgeable on this) only problem was in the early stages every one who tried it would end up with pneumonia.... Don't know if it was ever perfected or not.
Cool piece of trivia though,... The scene in the abyss where the rat was submerged in and started breathing the liquid was actually real and was taken directly from that technology.
