Half way!

180 pages in and it's been a tough last 60. Remember i said jargon free....Well that certainly applies if your Stephen Hawking! Some real deep chemistry going down. Still, i think i grasped most of it and the last 15 pages have been really interesting. Did you know ounce for ounce spiders silk is stronger than steel and tougher than Kevlar, but the spider is a "factory" smaller than your little finger, which uses no boiling sulphuric acid or high-pressure extruders, and whose only raw materials are crickets and flies, incredible!

Rhino horns tonight....
