Thread: Flourescent Pigs

  1. #1

    Question Flourescent Pigs

    I see scientists have now developed flourescent pigs!!!
    Does anyone know why they would want to do this?
    Don't wrestle with pigs, you just get all dirty and the pig enjoys it.

    Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

    I think you're right actually.... they glow from the inside out too.
    They have green trotters and snouts and in daylight look quite normal, just a tinge of green. Whatever next???

    There was an item in the news recently about a woman who found pork chops glowing in the dark in her fridge. Apparently some bacteria that can infest raw meat glow in the dark. The woman was advised to throw out the meat as the glow in the dark stage is just when the stuff is about to go off. The poor woman was imagining radioactive contamination or chemical waste or something so she called the police! Some scientist quoted on the news said it's actually quite common.

    I know they have spliced the glow in the dark gene into other things before. I remember seeing pictures of tobacco plants and frogs glowing.

    Wouldn't it be handy if all food glowed right before it was unfit for consumption? I'm especially thinking of the leftover Christmas turkey!
