The largest organ within the human body is actually on the outside. It is known as: Skin. This flexible, antimicrobial barrier is designed to keep the innumerable nasties out of the internal workings of a functioning human vessel. All in all, it does a fantastic job while being subjected to damaging solar radiation, physical and mechanical blows, and piercings by sharp metallic or glass objects, whether it be intentional or accidental. After all that abuse over decades of time, the fleshy fabric starts to lose elasticity and soon hangs off the frames of geriatric geezers like an oversized, wrinkled raincoat. The pleated, dried out cover now amplifies the term: Old, and the puddled pile of layered proteins and fats turns into a leather like chain mail with purple spots and brown lesions. Its owner is living on borrowed time because the protection fencing is failing. When the owner dies, the skin needs to be repurposed, just like leather steer hides. With the ability to absorb a ton of moisture just by chemically revitalizing the carbon coat, used human skin could be recycled as an effective desiccant. Instead of using silicon dioxide, calcium chloride, or activated alumina to absorb moisture away from sensitive electronic devices, it would be in the best interest of the environment to wrap a new computer in a refurbished, organic human hide to protect the sensitive semiconductors within. When John Dixon passed away last month, his skeleton and internal organs were cremated, but his tanned casing was wrapped around a Cray XC30-AC Supercomputer to protect the half million dollar investment from corroding during transit. Ed Gein….., you were on the right track.
