Been perusing wikipedia today. Good stuff...

Antimatter is said to be the most expensive substance in existence, with an estimated cost of $300 billion per milligram. This is because production is difficult (only a few atoms are produced in reactions in particle accelerators) and because there is higher demand for the other uses of particle accelerators.
 
A couple of nautical tidbits for you all
- Marine Sanitation Devices on ships (i.e. where all the shit goes) have colonies of anaerobic bacteria to break everything down because their byproduct is carbon dioxide. The byproduct of aerobic bacteria would be methane.
- Because of rules involved in passing another ship, more collisions happen when a ship passes another on its starboard (right) side. The circuitry for main signals from the ship's navigation system run on the starboard side, so that if there is a collision the emergency signals on the port (left) side can be used.
