Polyisocyanurate (STYE-ruh-FOAM)
From the Latin "polyiso-" meaning "fake," "cyan" meaning "blue," and "-urate" meaing "stuff."
Used as roofing insulation. R-19 is about yay thick. It comes in colors besides blue, as well.

Another virus!
???
Alyssa, could you please explain the connection between polyisocyanurate insulation and a virus?
C'mon, Ped ol' boy, keep up! Even as I write, I'm still aflicted by the dreaded Viscusablutia virus. But don't worry, Alyssa. I haven't come down with Polyisocyanurate.
Which still doesn't explain why Alyssa said "another."
Oddly enough, I used the word "polyisocyanurate" in a report of mine yesterday. Talk about weird coincidences.
another = another virus.
I made a joke about Viscusablutia sounding like some kind of virus. Polyisocyanurate sounds like 'another' kind of virus.
Just a joke.. don't think too much ;-)
