Cloned, Glow in the Dark Cats
eldavojohn writes "Well, you can finally get genetically modified cloned animals. South Korean scientists have shown it is possible to alter a protein via therapeutic cloning to 'artificially [create] animals with human illnesses linked to genetic causes.' The images of these animals are amazing. This research was headed by Kong Il-keun, the first person in the country to clone cats in 2004." There is always the chance that this is a hoax, but far too amusing to ignore.

Now they have food-lit dinner instead of candle lit dinner?
Yes, they run a little-known custom Ubuntu release...Fluorescent Feline.
Momentarily, the need for the construction of new light will no longer exist.

Now maybe I won't trip over them as I stumble around in the dark, on my way to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
And if we plug one into a light socket, will it glow brighter? Can I use one as a night light?

My cat is already horrible at catching mice. I can't imagine she would catch any if she glows.
...come to think of it can you make the mice glow instead??!!!

I'll take one for the wife please. Can you make it pink? She really likes pink. And one that doesn't shed, get rid of the shedding gene. And how about one that doesn't need food, doesn't poop, doesn't spray, no claws and not moody. Hmm, I just described a stuffed cat. I'll take a stuffed cat please.
Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are subtle, and quick to anger.
If we put it in a box and dont look...will it still glow?
At least these ones will be less likely to get run over by cars at night!
Unless the drivers are cat-haters...
You can have my SIG when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.
But do they glow in the dark after they blend?
Cheers.
This is my sig. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
The crusty stuff is often the feces of ear mites - you can get medicine to fix that and the scratching (also due to ear mites)
Cats are really tough, though. My grampa used to comment how hard it was to beat them to death with a bat.
I get it! Okay how's this..
"You call that comment a pointless refutation that has no actual substance? Hardly. Hell, give me a scientific breakthrough and an ignorant bastard and I'll come up with a better pointless refutation that has no actual substance."
Do I win £5?
