    Why are you here? Your reply is not a reply to the question I asked. I didn't ask "what isn't an accident" I asked what is. So?

    Example: Vulcanized rubber. Charles Goodyear accidentally spilled some sulphur onto a sheet of latex while it was heating.

    That IS a biggie for sure. I don't know what "vulcanizing" does it but I'll GOOGLE it and find out. Thank you for your reply and Happy Monday to thee and thine! :)
