Could be handy for insulating uninsulated tools though

I'm not sure if Silicone shares the same non conductive properties as rubber but the mind boggles really , there is no end of applications. I love it!

The Lost Inhabitants of Easter Island
Easter Island which is also known as Rapa Nui is located between
Chile and Tahiti. Not only is it one of the most isolated islands in
the world but it represents an example of mass extinction and
deforestation not found anywhere else in the world.
The Easter Islanders are famous for their gigantic monoliths called
Moai. These were constructed using indigenous island rock and are
placed all over the island some facing the sea but the majority facing
inland, suggesting some religious significance. Very little is known
about the social dynamics of the people of Rapa Nui but in a very short
period of time they destroyed themselves and the ecosystem they lived
in.
The disappearance was inferred as abrupt and violent with the
population unable to support themselves. No one knows the exact reason
for their extinction but scientists beleive the mass
deforestation which led to the eradication of every single tree species
on the island would have been a key factor in this disappearance.
The loss of trees would have had a huge impact on soil erosion,
birds would have lost their nesting grounds and with very little
rainfall the soil would
have become more and more hostile to the growth of plants and crops.
With no wood the local population would have struggled to build boats
for fishing and this caused a change in their diet. Chickens and rats
became a more common part of their food stock and some hint at even
cannabalism due to the prescence of human remains at cooking sites.
No one will ever know the real reason for the sudden demise of this
civilisation but from a scientific perspective it just demonstrates the
severe consequences that tampering with a lands natural ecosystem can
cause.

This book claims it's happened a few times, actually...
It's about how the easter Island civilisation died, how modern Montana is collapsing, and according to Amazon, "the Anasazi of the US southwest, the Maya in Mesoamerica, the Viking-founded colonies in the north Atlantic and especially in Greenland."
Interesting book but very long - I gave up in the middle of Easter Island.

There was a proper plum who 'invented' a flying car recently and it totally didn't work.
There is only one thing better than ace science and that is totally exploding fuck up science.

Where do you find pointless plums? In this instance spunking enough money to feed a small nation on a fucking flying car "expedition" from London to Timbuktu (fact!) and it never once achieving more than a few minutes in the air until eventually it smashed to bits and couldn't even drive on the ground. (see also Branson; Richard)
The Victorians had a certain elan when it came to pointless plums. There were so many the law of averages meant now and then one of them accidentally did something with a point. I also noticed that quiet and efficient philanthropy seems to have gone out of vogue in society circles but very loud stupid exploding stunts is IN.
These days I despair.
