This needs to be brought into practical use as soon as possible.

With affirmative action and multicultural engineers being hired and other grads with very little knowledge, but great self esteem, poorly designed disasters will be waiting to happen.

But if the metal can heal itself, perhaps the destruction poor number crunching and stupid designs cause can be avoided.

They're likely working on the infomercial already, where for just three easy payments of $19.99 you can get a frying pan - BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE! If you order now you can get a set of knives that will never dull even if you saw a parking meter off a metal post with it.
