Genetically Engineered Pets Hit the Market
psoriac writes "According to this article the Taiwanese Taikong Corporation is starting to sell "Night Pearls" - zebrafish that glow in different red and green patterns thanks to genes from jellyfish and marine coral. US sales are expected to follow."

Ever see the mouse with the human ear? I'd like to see a guinea pig with a human vagina. And no teeth.
The first person to patent a dog that refuses to pee in the house will be gangbusters.
They just appear to be glowing in red and green patterns, if you fucking hippies would get off of the psychedellics you'd realize that they're not glowing at all!
Oh, wait, that's Phish, my bad.
Until Slashdot fixes the funny modifier, use insightful or interesting. The poster knows your intentions.
I didn't even know they'd made zebrafish yet, let alone coloured ones.
I, also a member of PETA, am wondering how these fish taste.
BTW, that's the "People for the Eating of Tasty Animals".
the scottish have been "injecting" sheep with their genetic material for ages, sadly to no avail. some day though, the noble scots will have their sheepwomen!!!!!!!!! =D
we had to shove christmas lights down their throats to make them glow.
Can I get a frickin "laser" implanted in their heads?

I read somewhere about a french artist who worked with a bioengineering company to produce a rabbit that glowed green (using jellyfish genes as well). There was some sort of scandal about him not getting to take it home to film it interacting as a family pet which was what the whole project was about in the first place.
I'd like to see a pic of these fish though, or some video. I have no problem with a genetically modified pet. In the future, maybe we can have tigers that get no bigger than house cats, or something cool like that. Or photosynthetic pets that you don't have to feed! Just stick them outside for a few hours!
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It's just that yours is stupid.
Nah, geeks get laid, it just takes them a while. The jocks get laid young, but they also die young in car accidents and gym showers. Yuck. We geeks invest in our brains, and kernel-hacking skills, then we get all the cute girls on the rebound. It's a strategy, like any other.

I wouldn't consider "Baby Got Back" an older African song.
