Here is something that will interest you.
Strongest Material on Earth: Snail Teeth
Snails have teeth? Researchers in the U.K. have discovered the strongest biological material ever recordedin a breed of aquatic snails. Limpets, which are snails with shells that have no obvious coiling, possess teeth made of goethite, an iron-based mineral that is threaded into fibers. It is five times stronger than spider silk and is now deemed the worlds strongest material. These teeth are made up of very small fibers, put together in a particular way, the studys lead author Asa Barber said. And we should be thinking about making our own structures following the same design principles.

Chimping is a colloquial term used in digital photography to describe the habit of checking every photo on the camera display (LCD) immediately after capture.
