Yeah, great. The search for oil-eating and plastic eating bugs.

Then, next thing you know, some freak Greenie group will let the things go all over the place, and plastic everywhere will start to fall apart. I can just see the supermarket shelves, now!

Great job, guys! But watch out, these fungi will eat your iPads!

If you ever watched the movie Andromeda Strain that was a part of the plot in the movie an unknown organism was eating the plastic hose fittings in an F4 Phantom causing the aircraft to crash and killing the pilot.

It’s amazing how far ahead sci-fi is ahead of science fact.

“The fungi can survive on polyurethane alone and is uniquely able to do so in an oxygen-free environment.”

As long as the iPads are aren’t buried in a land-fill, they should be okay. But I have no problem threatening the Greenies with such a possibility, just for the amusement value.
