OT: Super-computer studies aerodynamics of the potato chip

[Jim Hurley]

This from todays NYT:

"Once the exclusive territory of nuclear weapons designers and code 
breaker, ultrafast computers are increasingly being used in every day 
product design. Procter & Gamble used a supercomputer to study the 
airflow over its Pringles potato chips to help stop them from 
fluttering off the company's assembly lines."

Today the potato chip, tomorrow the Shuttle.
