Fluorescent Glowin' Pigs

Flurorescent glowin' pigs!

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.

The researchers hope the pigs will boost the island's stem cell research, as well as helping with the study of human disease.

But the glowing has nothing to do with that. They just thought it "looked kinda freaky."

Fluorescent. Glowin'. Pigs.

Thanks to Dave and Hubris (whose blog address I can't seem to find on Google).

I for one welcome our new luminescent porcine overlords.

Seriously though, don't you think Roger Waters is reading this right now and thinking "Hey, we could probably do ONE MORE tour"?

New hotness: Glowsticks that poo.

Posted by: on January 12, 2006 02:50 PM

Wan't that green eggs and ham? Oh well, we now have the advantage of seeing all the NARAL girls in the dark. Why would I want that?

That a terrible thought.

Posted by: Ron LaCanne on January 12, 2006 02:50 PM

So, when the pigs are not just green and glowing but also winged and flying will that be proof the Singularity has arrived?

Posted by: TallDave on January 12, 2006 02:51 PM

that was the joke Ron...grumble....

Posted by: Iblis on January 12, 2006 02:53 PM

Don't worry, Iblis - we got it. But I'm really waiting for Spurwing's take on this.

Posted by: geoff on January 12, 2006 02:55 PM

Great, glow in the dark pigs. Meanwhile, we are subject to illegal wiretaps and our murderous bigoted troops are dying in an unjust war based on lies for oil.

Posted by: tubiknow on January 12, 2006 03:05 PM

Well, this just made certain nocturnal activities a whole lot easier.

Thanks, scientists!

Glow in the dark piggies i,ll bet the idiots at PETA will be whining about it they will claim they fed them on phosphorus

Posted by: spurwing plover on January 12, 2006 03:20 PM

geoff-ask and you shall receive.

And if you follow the link you'll learn that this story was reported by one Chris Hogg.

Posted by: BLS on January 12, 2006 03:35 PM

Absolutely fantastic.

Now I want to see some glowing squirrels that shoot laser beams from their eyes.

It's a little known fact that Dick Cheney's junk glows in the dark. Christ, Lynn was bug-eyed when she saw that thing coming at her.

Posted by: CT on January 12, 2006 03:51 PM

I think these genes should be spliced into wild boars and little speedy pigs with cameras on their heads.

These should be deployed against the jihadis in Iraq and Afghanistan immediately. The captured video should be used as intelligence and sold on Google Video (with profits being fed back into the program).

Sooouuuuiiiiiieeeeee!!!

Posted by: IreneFingIrene on January 12, 2006 04:25 PM

I'm glad to see scientists hard at work at serious research that will better mankind.

Meanwhile, we have the nightlite for sleep and breakfast when we wake up!

I'm no Luddite, but that ain't right, man.

Posted by: sandy burger on January 12, 2006 05:36 PM

Glowing pigs?

I wanted some freakin sharks with freakin lasers on their heads!

Posted by: Dr. Evil on January 12, 2006 05:42 PM

Ya know, apply that to cattle, and you'll have a lot of farmers interested. Nothing more annoying than trying to find -- in the dark -- a herd that found a gap in the fence.

Posted by: Robert Crawford on January 12, 2006 05:44 PM

Ace,

Flourescent.Glowin'.Pigs.

!

Really, now that's something!

I'm not sure what, exactly.

But it's something, that's for sure.

...

Log Cabin and Dr. Evil,

LOL.

Really.

Someone's tax dollars at work!

Maybe these pigs will audition for "Pearls Before Swine"?

Posted by: Ron on January 12, 2006 08:22 PM

Pork: The other whi.. eh... green glowing meat.

Posted by: Xoxotl on January 12, 2006 09:29 PM

So this is where we get GREEN EGGS AND HAM from? i guess SAM I AM is working in a science lab

Posted by: spurwing plover on January 12, 2006 09:30 PM

If nuclear waste could have gotten me high, I'd glow in the dark today!

Posted by: Dennis on January 12, 2006 09:32 PM

Maybe we could send this things to Iran. They would make a great target identifier.

Posted by: olddawg on January 12, 2006 10:57 PM

I'd like to see a cage match between the glowing pigs and the Glue Sniffing Monkey Bandits.

LOL Spurwing!

It's been done with rabbits,also.Prety freaky seeing those long ears lighting upAnd Ace?M B-B is suffering from a serious Bo-tox deficiency.Twenty five years ago is not now.

Posted by: corwin on January 13, 2006 11:52 AM

Let me get this straight: they made Fluorescent. Glowin'. Pigs. for no good reason, just to prove that it could be done?

Why do I think that Jesse James or the Teutl family is behind this somehow?

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

@KFILE 21m

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite
