Teflon was in the spacesuits the Apollo crew wore for the moon landing, in pipes and valves used in the Manhattan project, and it may be in your kitchen, as the nonstick coating on frying pans and cookie sheets.

You may not think you appreciate bass guitar, but after you watch this dude nail 30 video game themes on his bass, you might find yourself respecting it a whole lot more.
I suggest playing it with eyes closed first and seeing if you can GUESS the game score, and then watch again to see if you are right (as he lists all the names of the games he is playing the themes from).
Very cool.
