Linky (BBC) quote: Scientists in Taiwan say they have bred three pigs that glow in the dark. They claim that while other researchers have bred partly fluorescent pigs, theirs are the only pigs in the world which are green through and through. The pigs are transgenic, created by adding genetic material from jellyfish into a normal pig embryo. !

3 pigs for the better health of humans, i accept it. Better then winding up as bacon.

Great. Now we have to re-write a great story. "I do not want green ham and eggs, I do not like them Mr. Legs."

Boris, may I use (steal, ahem) the Green Ham And Eggs joke in a comic that I write/draw for a student newspaper? Please ?

Well, better than a pig with 4 rear-ends (A South Park ref). And for those who've never raised any pigs, being glow in the dark WOULD be useful....

My mom's friend always fed her kindergarten green eggs, but never had the ham.
