Okay, I'll say it: Foam? This is 2006, people. Everything else is designed using "space age technology." Foam? You'd think we would come up with something better than foam...

It sounds like we're getting ready to shave the damned thing.

"Foam" is a catchall term describing a manufacturing process/result. You wouldn't want to shave with this "foam" -- it's not fluid (think Styrofoam), and it has to remain intact through some "dynamic vibrations" and pressures during ascent that would likely kill you were you alongside it.

I return you to your brewski. *\;-)
