Insect Substance Synthesized For Science

An anonymous reader wrote to mention an article discussing the successful synthesis of resilin, a super-elastic material used by insects to perform amazing feats. From the article: "Dr. Elvin predicted the substance would lead to everything from artificial arteries to spinal parts that would not wear out despite being flexed 100 million times. 'That's how many times you move your back in 50 or 60 years,' he said. It could also be used in micro electronics. 'We even imagine putting it in running shoes.'"

    this have to do with getting my dick sucked. Unless this invention can lead to a better hand or blow job I don't give a squirt of jizz. Even if it lead to a better rim job might be ok. Maybe I could make a fake snatch out of it, that'd make me go a good nut, like a real pussy but doesn't wear out, a virgin every time. Yeah I said it bitches, and y'all were thinkin it. How can I get my tallywhacker into somma that shit.
