Pry my Metz necks from my cold, dead, fingers

In addition to the price of gasoline going up, fly tyers can expect some increase in the cost of chicken feathers soon. Ethanol production has boosted the price of corn measurably (chicken feed), and now the Intel Corporation has designs on your soft hackles.
Plastics research suggests that waste feathers (hen necks, marabou, etc) can also be used to generated new stronger forms of plastic polymers, and printed circuits.
The good news is that flytiers that lick their fingers are no longer are at risk for Mad Cow Disease. What? You didn’t know that?
