What is Parafilm you ask.  It is simply parafine wax supplied in thin
sheets that is routinely used in biology, biochem, and related field
as a quick and easy way to seal flasks that you don't want exposed to
the nasty little things that float in the air.  I don't think it meets
the Jed Rothwell protocol for keeping CF experiments squeeky clean
with respect to organics.

As to other recent CF news that I would assign to the dust bin is
the message from Prof. Farrell that Mills is producing 50 Watts
of heat with 2.5 Watts input power - too big an effect to require
careful measurements.  But, of course, we can't be told anything
about how this is done!  Perhaps Mills would consider releasing
a video.
