Whilst perusing SeattleTimes.com’s old stories about the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, I discovered this headline from May 2007: “This is a composite guy’s dream.”

I can see it now:

COMPOSITE GUY! Assembled from spare parts! He’s got the heart of a nun, the brain of a rocket scientist, the hands of a surgeon, the legs of an Olympic distance runner, the arms of a warrior, and the guts of a CHAMPION!
