Safe "Engineered" Fugu, Sans Gene Manipulation

zlel writes "Did anyone figure that you could get clean, poison-free Fugu without genetic engineering? According to this story, a group of researchers at Nagasaki University managed to do just that - they bred Fugu by giving them poison-free feed. They tried to get Japan to modify its ban on the sale of Fugu liver - but authorities felt that this was too big a risk - so in the meantime, you gotta trust your chefs." Anyone willing to translate for the Japanese-impaired?

Perhaps NASA should consider employing a fleet of fugu to protect earth from rogue asteroids that accumulate that poison to internal.

In A.D. 2004
Lunch was beginning

Chef: What happen?
Waiter: Somebody set up us the fish.
Waiter: We get order.
Chef: What!
Waiter: Main stove turn on.
Chef: It's You!!
Critic: How are you gastronomes!!
Critic: All your fish are belong to us.
Critic: You are on the way to destruction.
Chef: What you say!!
Critic: You have no chance to survive bring my lunch.
Critic: Ha Ha Ha Ha ....
Chef: Take off every "fugu."
Chef: You know what you doing.
Chef: Move "fugu".
Chef: For great taste.
