China Heralds Year of the Fluorescent Green Pig

Apocalypse111 writes "Chinese scientists have successfully bred partially green fluorescent pigs which they hope will boost stem cell research. A research team at the Northeast Agricultural University in Harbin managed to breed three transgenic pigs by injecting fluorescent green protein into embryonic pigs. Xinhua quoted Professor Liu Zhonghua as saying. 'The mouth, trotters and tongue of the pigs are green under ultraviolet light'."

We will lay waste to it with nuclear weapons before we allow them to become independent, and subsequently act as American and Japanese bitches. The fact that he is modded up shows how ridiculously uninformed the Slashdot community is on this issue.
