It's called a "protective mucus layer" and a single Hagfish can convert 20 litres of water to mucus surprisingly quickly: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagfish[^] and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bb2EOP3ohnE[^]

Wow, that's one amazing fish ! The next video up on YouTube after the video you linked to was a live video in the open ocean showing 14 attempts at eating a hagfish by various predators: all failed: [^].

They are considering using the slime to make clothing: apparently it's made of stretchy fibres which are as strong as silk: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-21954779[^]

Just found this[^] whilst looking to see where he was standing. If he's suspended does that mean he can't be voted for?
So much for staying off Codeproject so not to post something to ruin your chances
Nagy I know you still speak with him?

Hey does suspend himself quite good without CP, maybe that's the reason why he'll never come back 
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

Would have been too late to remove him from the ballots. A few have been suspended by their parties in the last few weeks, never worked out if the votes cast for them still count, I would imagine so as the suspension is from the party not the election.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

You vote for a person not a party (despite popular belief). The candidate's standing in the party is a total irrelevance. Indeed he/she doesn't even have to declare a party at all.
You can only be removed from a ballot if found guilty of breaches of statutes relating to elections and campaign conduct. There are certain circumstances in which the result of an election can be annulled at a later date but again party membership or standing would not be a cause for such action to be invoked.

Go on! (and link to a few of his early posts here, while you're at it *
* not really - would be far more amusing to do that after he's elected

I linked and he replied, but it would be wrong of me to post what he said.

Because it would get you flagged as abusive?
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

|
|
Or maybe the suspension would get permanent if the word gets spread?

Have you aid post them instead

Yes, I am standing.
Yes, I am still a member of the conservative party.
No, I haven't been suspended.
(Press got it wrong (again)).
And it wasn't me who posted it.
Just to clear up any confusion.

I wouldn't be so sure: this is the man who drunkenly edited Wikipedia to report the (untrue) death of an English cricketer!

else

MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");

A politician has said something, and you're daft enough to believe it?
I think that anyone who believes even one statement that comes out of a politician's (particularly the tory variety) mouth should be banned from voting.
