Well, it's about time you checked back in. I've dearly missed the way you
whistle at inappropriate moments.
Is your BattleCroozer site still up? I've misplaced the link.
Anyway, the Beeb article indicates that scientists hope to be able to cloak
particles of dust. Imagine the possibilities: instead of wasting your time
dusting the shelves, you simply cloak the dust. It's only a matter of time
before science will allow us to cloak cobwebs, lint, and disaffected
offspring.
