Breakthrough In PCB Materials

I recently read an article on a circuit board made using chicken feathers and soybean-based epoxy. You can read the article yourself on www.treehugger.com

Now, I'm not a regular reader of Treehugger (as you would likely guess if you ever met me), but I found this article fascinating because of the obvious implications. According to the author, the new chicken-feather and soybean circuit board is actually faster than traditional circuit boards. This because of a higher dielectric constant. And to think that all those silly laminate manufacturers have been muddling around for years with exotic and expensive materials. Silly, silly scientists...

Also, as the (presumably tree-hugging) author points out, these new materials "...are derived from renewable plant and animal feedstock, which use carbon dioxide from the air and help minimize global warming as compared to petroleum feedstock". Wow, chickens that breathe carbon dioxide!? Now THAT certainly lends credibility to the story.

So now, inspired by this groundbreaking news, I'm in the throes of development of an ultra-high-speed, flame-retardant PCB laminate using common nose hair trimmings and recycled boxer-short elastic. It seems that the lifespan of boxer short elastic has plummeted in recent years due to their increased exposure to UV rays (they used to be hidden from the sun). And, it has been proven (or maybe just implied) that the tons of nose hair trimmings decomposing in landfills is contributing to the greenhouse effect. My solution could single handedly save mankind. Stay tuned.
