Somewhat Relevant Musings and Commentary

A collection of musings on various things from, college, relationships, Star Wars, friendships, God, and whatever else I think of. Sometimes relevant to the world at large, most of the time relevant only to those with a love of the irrational. Or people really interested in a certain point of view.

Cool Fact

Here's a cool fact I learned in chemistry today. If you were to weave spider silk into a rope with a thickness of a pencil, it is strong enough to stop a 747 from taking off. And if you strung that same rope between two anchors, a metropolitan bus could use it as a tightrope. Amazing.
