Digital Times Early Morning News

     Hot off the internet: Our Star reporter Rachel Keller, brings us new and interesting news bytes.  Yeast Based Plastic? Mobile Oil announced this morning that their research scientists had discovered a reliable substitute for petrochemical based plastics.  A new yeast product that they have been testing has been approved by Underwriters Laboratories as a substitute for normal plastic in all electrical wiring applications.  For the first time in over 5 years Mobile’s stocks have actually topped their all time record high.  Mobile has announced the recall of all of their previously laid off workers and anticipates hiring more workers as demand for their product increases.  Guess we’ll be hearing more about that in the future.  G’day Mates.

Being Yeast-Based

Would the plastics be self-raising? They would make wonderful condoms,

I vaguely remember reading something about a naturally produced plastic somewhere. I hope it becomes reality in both worlds, ours and your digital one. :)

Thanks very much for keeping us informed, Ms Keller. You're a peach, and a good egg.

Hi Rachel,

If they are making EVERYTHING that is plastic from yeast and as we ALL know one of the byproducts of yeast is alcohol, (As in beer and wine yeasts) I think we are due for ONE HELL OF A PARTY!!!!!
