Taiwan is not claiming a world first. Others have bred partially fluorescent pigs before. But the researchers insist the three pigs they have produced are better.
Go Taiwan! Leading the world in glowing pigs!
'And then "mome raths"?' said Alice. 'I'm afraid I'm giving you a great deal of trouble.'
'Well, a "rath" is a sort of green pig: but "mome" I'm not certain about. I think it's short for "from home" - meaning that they'd lost their way, you know.'
--Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass
SOYLENT GREEN IS THE OTHER WHITE MEAT!
Seriously, though, we should get some green pigs for the MoFi farm -- to match our Glow-in-the-dark Rabbits.
Then we can farm at night!
Yyyup!
Mothra will be pleased. Glowing radiated beings are his thing.
Hey now, this is just wrong. Then again, they would make awesome stage props for the band.
(yeah, it's close to a self-link, but you have to like, go through my profile)
I want to be able to inject blueness into my own cells using a virus. It would be pretty cool to be blue all over. So Pictish. Oh woad is me.
hey! its not easy being green
/kermit theeee frog
Just tell me why.
What made you suppose
glowing green pigs would be
a treat to the nose?
Wrong!
*smack!*
It seems like it would be hard to get to sleep if your eyelids glowed in the dark. This could make the pigs cranky.
THESE CRANKY GLOWING PIGS WILL DESTROY US ALL
perhaps Koko also glows
Well, they only glow in the dark if you put a blue light on them (?) so we don't need to welcome our sleep-deprived glowing pig overlords just yet.
Ye gods! What would happen if you brought that poor rabbit to a rave!
*suddenly wonders if they still do raves*
Does it still work when they are cooked?
Raves?
In this, our time of trial- as we enter an age of man-made climate catastrophes, as the oil runs out, as HIV ravages Africa and a flu pandemic stirs in China, I take comfort in the knowledge that our scientific community is...
...making glow-in-the-dark pigs.
I'll just be over here in the corner with my head between my knees if anybody needs me.
I, for one, welcome our new glowing pig overlords
stan! don't you know that only a glow-in-the-dark-pig has the superpowers to fix the climate, invent a brilliant new clean fuel source, cure HIV and the flu and invent a delicious zero-calorie pancake???????????????????????????
As much as I love the idea of creating a glowing pig for no reason, I must point out:
The scientists will use the transgenic pigs to study human disease. Because the pig's genetic material is green, it is easy to spot.
So if, for instance, some of its stem cells are injected into another animal, scientists can track how they develop without the need for a biopsy or invasive test.
>fix the climate, invent a brilliant new clean fuel source, cure HIV and the flu and invent a delicious zero-calorie pancake???????????????????????????
Oh...
I hadn't realized that about the pancake.
Very well then. Carry on.
I'm glad to see you've got proper priorities!
Would Dr Seuss be able to make green ham and eggs scan as well though?
Well he'd certainly be able to track their genetic material better.
Well, when we finally do get them fancy no-cal pancakes, we'll have some delicious glow-in-the-dark bacon to go with 'em.
You people are bound and determined to make me eat my words, aren't you?
Well, you're wrong. Wrong, I say. Ham IS NOT art. Even if it's from green fluorescent pigs, it's Still. Not. Art.
I got some ham in my fridge that is kinda green and kinda fluorescent. What scares me is that it wasn't from a genetically altered pig.
And I'm not sure what's in this tupperware container AT ALL
roryk, brilliant. A pig streetlamp to light the way for the next space shuttle!
(Just kidding. It's awesome.)
/stands in awe of roryk's fu
"Hey I know - let's make a flourescent pig!"
*SMACK!* What the hell is wrong with you?! Stop! Just stop fer crap's sake!
Damn! You sick fuck!
That's what I'da said if I was that guy's boss.
))) for roryk!!!
petebest, I finally saw the Southpark Aristocrats sketch today and that totally reminded me of it.
I've been thinking of it off and on all day and just WTFing about it.
I'd pay way more than $5 to see a green baby panda!
Are those pork-burgers you be flippin' Roryk?
green as spring
that shuffles off
each year
and then stays gone
till birdsong
makes it
reappear
some pigs
are lucky
green and/or
glowing as
the songs of
Thomas Moore
> Are those pork-burgers you be flippin' Roryk?
*cough* um, yes. i call it "the other green meat"...
Well, hey then!
**slides onto stool**
I got me some of that Knickerblogger, Knickrebacker, Knockerbiatcher cheap-ass beer from over yonder at that other thread. Fry me up one of those bad boys--with everything!
even the blood turnip?
ooh greenpig burgers with blood turnip garnish--a holiday special!!
*fries up some other-green-meat patties for gramma and medusa. slices and dices the blood turnip, cutting finger in process. oh well, it's not like they'll notice.*
after all roryk *the secret ingredient is....BLOOD!!*
**Gramma digs into a green-meat patty **
Tap another keg of that Knickerblogger, Knickerblager, Knickerlager, whatever, and gimme a pitcher of Rouyk. I'm making Red Beers for everyone!
mmmm, blood beer
*goes to look for klingon dictionary*
Um, okay, uh . . i'm just gonna have a regular beer, ok?
*looks for closest exit*
The exit?? Over there, Pete, under the flashing phosphorescent pig butt sign.
**laughs evilly**

"Then Froofoo took the Pig of Gulagriel and proceeded himself unto MORDOR with a small lower-class servant strapped to his face. And yay, even unto this day the wood pixies sing of the Green Pig of Gulagriel and their songs are like the salty spray of the sea that slaps the swimmer in the mouth and leaveth a residue of white scum upon them but they will be heard no more in Mezzanine Earth until Munwii leaveth off the role of gaurdianship thereof at the end of the dominion of mans."
hail, Tara! thou Glowing Green Pig Madonna
accompany us into the sauna
into the house into the kitchen
and to the stable with the horses
whose ears and tails are always twitching
and to the sunroom where the birds
are practicing illuminating words
While looking for something else just now, I came upon this:
A Performance at Hog Theater
There was once a hog theater where hogs performed as men, had
men been hogs.
One hog said, I will be a hog in a field which has found a
mouse which is being eaten by the same hog which is in the field
and which has found the mouse, which I am performing as my
contribution to the performer's art.
Oh, let's just be hogs, cried an old hog.
And so the hogs streamed out of the theater crying, only hogs,
only hogs ...
