Enlarge your Buckyballs! You certainly can't make them smaller.

With the announcment of the nearly-perfect black surface yesterday, I went looking at Wikipedia for a refresher course on carbon nanotubes, and, as is the case, I discovered more than I bargained for:

• The buckyball is the state molecule of Texas.
• The improperly-prepared corn muffin is the state muffin of Massachusetts.
• The Natchitoches meat pie is the state meat pie of Louisiana
• The blueberry is the state blue berry of North Carolina.
• Conecuh Ridge Whiskey is the state spirit of Alabama. (Note to self. Must try.)
• "Great Potatoes. Tasty Destinations." is the state slogan of Idaho.
• aaaaaand, nearly every state has an official state dirt.

Now you can all be the envy of useless information purveyors the world over!

I've been to Threebear. We ride dirt bikes there pretty much every weekend in the spring and fall. I feel compelled to add that the dirt is very loose and almost slippery when dry, and really hard to clean off when muddy.
