Was that idea ever mentioned before that one episode of Enterprise? I am not saying you are wrong or it wasn't I just can't remember that idea ever being brought up before and I am pretty sure I would have remembered something like that if I had heard it mentioned on the show when i was a kid.

In an episode of Enterprise I think they answer some kid's questions. That was one of the questions. Someone explained something about how it does get converted into useful things, like boots.

This subject made me think of this > CLICKY
