And on that note, has anyone seen the really cool Thermasilk commercial yet?
I have also seen about 16 other major fantasy fiction/AD&Dish commercials or
adds in the last two to three months here. Very severe increase in the
usage of such.

And that doesn't count the Marines, who have used that kind of stuff for a
LONG time now.
