One Farad caps are often used today in place of rechargeable batteries, to 
back up CMOS RAM data for periods of days or even weeks.  Since the working 
voltage is only 3 to 5 range, they are small.

I do think the original poster was joking :-)  A 1F cap filter would maybe be 
useful in long-term seismographs -- maybe.  --Mike K.
