title: What's that? Chicken fat.
---

The university here has started to heat its buildings and water with [boilers converted to burn chicken fat](http://24hour.newsobserver.com/24hour/nation/story/243996p-2314950c.html). They claim success and note that no one has complained about the odor, though that may explain my recent cravings for fried goods.
