China Heralds Year of the Fluorescent Green Pig

Apocalypse111 writes "Chinese scientists have successfully bred partially green fluorescent pigs which they hope will boost stem cell research. A research team at the Northeast Agricultural University in Harbin managed to breed three transgenic pigs by injecting fluorescent green protein into embryonic pigs. Xinhua quoted Professor Liu Zhonghua as saying. 'The mouth, trotters and tongue of the pigs are green under ultraviolet light'."

Just what the world needs

So I'll take my Egg McMuffin with the Florescent Green Canadian Bacon. Hmmm. I think not.

Here's an accomplishment that will create a real conundrum for the Green Party. Is the pig a symbol to be cherished, a genetic freak to be feared, or some combination.

Green Eggs and Ham

[kihjin]

I do not like them in a box.
I do not like them with a fox.
I do not like them in a house.
I do not like them with a mouse.
I do not like them here or there.
I do not like them anywhere.
I do not like green eggs and ham.
I do not like them, Sam-I-am.

From China with love,

I'll never understand why people think pigs flying is such an impossible thing. Give me an airplane and a sedated pig and I'll give you a flying pig.

I for one...

But They Won't Breed with an Elephant...

[Greyfox]

Unless you get them really, really drunk...

Cripes they're mixing pigs with jellyfish and the most interesting thing they can think to do with it is make the pig green? How about breeding a pig with deadly stinging tentacles? Now that would be something truly worthwhile!

Re:But They Won't Breed with an Elephant...

[Anonymous Coward]

Maybe they should also consider attaching some frikken lasers to the tentacles too.

Night shot camera?? I mean seriously that is all the picture looks like right?

Unless I'm missing something here, I've already seen similar footage involving Paris Hilton in a hotel room. I wasn't aware that she was the result of a genetic experiment, but it sure would explain a lot.

sure, that's what they want us to think.
