There Be Whales Onboard, Cap'n!

The title will be best understood by trekkies. In Star Trek IV (one of the best trek movies) Scotty says this to Kirk after beaming two humpback whales onboard their Klingon spaceship. The whales help them save the world. These beasties are held in an aluminum tank that is transparent. Science Fiction you say? Do not be hasty brown bear. Transparent concrete with an alumina base is in development and it also seems to conduct electricity. Can you imagine the future of this discovery? Read about it at the Pink Tentacle. Thanks goes out to Slashdot for this link.
