Not sure what the point of this thing is...



http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17381600



"A process to "unphotocopy" toner ink from paper has been developed by engineers at the University of Cambridge.
       
The process involves using short laser pulses to erase words
and images by heating the printed material to the point that they
vaporise."

The russians, on the other hand, simply provided their cosmonauts with erasers.

I didnt really get the whole point until I read the entire article. Its so the greenie weenies can recycle their paper in house. Yea

Once paper has went through a black and white machine, through the fuser that melts and presses the toner into the paper, the paper undergoes a slight change in the finish. When a piece goes through a color machine, most use silicon oil in the fusing process to even out the copy quality, which changes the paper finish even more. All that said a piece of paper can only go through a machine a couple time before its break out the bats, paper jam removal office space style time.

Probably a couple barrels of oil used for all the plastic this machine has.



Over it's lifetime it probably saves the equivalent of 1/2 a tree.



Enviroweenies, idiots.

I developed an ink using animal feces and spider urine. I have collected approximately 3 tons of animal dung. But at this point only 1cc of spider urine.

The urine has to be milked from the Female Black Widow Spider and only when she is in season. As the females only live for a year and are very small, you see my problem.

But they do have egg sacks containing around 900 little ones, so that's a plus.

It does stink a little bit. And is not very cost effective. But I am hoping to put together a PowerPoint to show to Obama to get some AltEnergy Funds.

Should make it a snap to get you an "original"  long form birth certificate.
