Today we were experimenting with creating nanofibers with a new polymer. While we didn't quite have the correct manufacturing specifications we were able to create a scaffold. One of our material engineers brought it to the office to show us and give us a sample of the texture and consistency of the new polymer.
Now comes the real story... Our Senior Product and Marketing Manager was given a sample to inspect. He looks at it for a while and then tries to put it back down. I say try here because he wasn't able to put it on the table. Now you may be a little confused at how this happened and I was too, thus convinced that he must have some magical talents that I didn't know about.
However, after closer inspection we discovered (much to my disappointment) that it was not magic at all. A few of the nanofibers got caught on his fingernail and caused the rest of the scaffold to appear to float in midair. Our fibers are so thin that from even a few inches away, I couldn't see them at all!
In conclusion, the Marketing guy wasn't a magician without a rabbit or a magician at all. Just a crazy optical illusion exhibiting the wonders of our nanofibers!
Until tomorrow, we out here spinning!
P.S. Still no sign of Dave......
