Taiwan breeds green-glowing pigs
If you're at all like me then you're sick and tired of losing your pig in the dark. Well, enterprising National Taiwan University scientists have solved our pig-losing problems by combining fluorescent jellyfish DNA with average farm pigs. The result? Glow in the dark pigs (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4605202.stm). Not your run of the mill glow in the dark pigs either. These porkers glow inside and out. Even their organs emit a greenish aura. That's right, NTU will not settle for second rate glowing pigs. And I say it's about time. I've had to suffer long enough without access to high quality glowing pigs. I'm really glad the demand for luminiscent swine has finally been recognized.
Hopefully they'll have these guys on the market by Easter time so I can bring a few home. They'll be a boon to Northern farmers forced to go months without adequate sunlight. Not only will it make keeping track of one's pigs that much easier, it'll reduce electricity costs to light barns. Best of all we can finally have greased pig catching competitions in the dark, and add pyrotechnic effects. The run of the mill county fair greased pig catching competitions are fun, but they need something to spice up their product for the youth entertainment market. Glowing pigs are just the ticket.
