Oh......gene insertion into goats such that they secrete spider silk protein in their milk. Spider silk protein has one of the highest (if not the highest) tensile strengths of any material. Silk protein can be used in bullet proof vests etc.

Goes back to about 2010, I think.

Just a little freaky for my taste!
