Samuel Kyle (bishop)
Samuel Kyle (1770 – 18 May 1848) was an Irish bishop in the Church of Ireland.
He was educated at Trinity College Dublin.
He was Provost of Trinity College Dublin from 1820 to 1831,[1] Bishop of Cork and Ross from 1831 to 1835[2] and Bishop of Cork, Cloyne and Ross from then until his death on 18 May 1848.[3]
His eldest son, Samuel Moore Kyle, became Archdeacon of Cork.

gollark: Wikipedia says that spider silk has a diameter of "2.5–4 μm", which I approximated to 3μm for convenience, so a strand has a 1.5μm radius. That means that its cross-sectional area (if we assume this long thing of spider silk is a cylinder) is (1.5e-6)², or ~7e-12. Wikipedia also says its density is about 1.3g/cm³, which is 1300kg/m³, and that the observable universe has a diameter of 93 billion light-years (8.8e26 meters). So multiply the length of the strand (the observable universe's diameter) by the density of spider silk by the cross-sectional area of the strand and you get 8e18 kg, while the atmosphere's mass is about 5e18 kg, so close enough really.
gollark: Okay, so by mass it actually seems roughly correct.
gollark: So, spider silk comes in *very* thin strands and is somewhat denser than water, interesting.
gollark: You do that, I'll try and find data on spider silk density.
gollark: Actually, this factoid does seem kind of dubious even if it's meant to say "mass"... hmm.
