Plastic from chicken feathers

Yes. Really. A professor at Tech has figured out how to make plastic from Virginia's surplus of chicken feathers... apparently we have a lot of them left over after the slaughter. I also learned that the life of a chicken processed for food lasts about 49 days. Ow.
So, here's my drawing of "a small cup molded from the feather plastic."

Next post: Tuesday, June 26. On the road again.
