As another exclusive in Lame Cherry in matter anti matter.....
I attempted not so long ago to engage American agriculture in funding research which would create a sheep by gene splicing, an animal which would be capable of not just growing wool, but quantities of silk and even a cotton fiber.
There is a spider in Sri Lanka which produces a very strong fiber which would be of use too as by the following quote:
"There is another species of a large-sized spider who spins a web of about two and a half feet in diameter. This is composed of a strong, yellow, silky fibre, and so powerful is the texture that a moderate-sized walking-cane thrown into the web will be retained by it. This spider is about two inches long, the color black, with a large yellow spot upon the back, and the body nearly free from hair.
A sample of such thread as is spun by the spider described could not have failed to produce the desired result, as its strength is so great that it can be wound upon a card without the slightest care required in the operation. The texture is far more silky than the fibre commonly produced by spiders, which has more generally the character of cotton than of silk. Should this ever be experimented on, a question might arise of much interest to entomologists, whether a difference in the food of the spider would affect the quality of the thread, as is well known to be the case with the common silkworm."

.....and for this I was ignored by the sheep industry, but they did kindly sell my name to some damned pharmaceutical company which decided to send me catalogues or something about this nature which I am still upset about.
It is a reality of how I am constantly thwarted in advancing humanity by the scum suckers in the agriculture industries who feed on that industry by then insult or ignore my advances.
nuff said.
