About time they solved this nasty problem! (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060112/sc_nm/taiwan_pig_dc;_ylt=AsHL4XbgdpkslEhE7VCO_Q6s0NUE;_y lu=X3oDMTA3MzV0MTdmBHNlYwM3NTM-)

TAIPEI (Reuters) - Taiwan, home to the world's first transgenic glowing fish, has successfully bred fluorescent green pigs that researchers hope will boost the island's stem cell research, a professor said on Thursday.
By injecting fluorescent green protein into embryonic pigs, a research team at the island's leading National Taiwan University managed to breed three male transgenic pigs, said professor Wu Shinn-Chih of the university's Institute and Department of Animal Science and Technology.

"There are partially fluorescent green pigs elsewhere, but ours are the only ones in the world that are green from inside out. Even their hearts and internal organs are green," Wu said on Thursday.

Capt. Kirt will approve; once they start making fluorescent green women.

I wanna glow. Then I'd never have to worry about needing a book light.

It's all a Taiwanese plot to annoy the mainland Chinese who want fluorescent red pigs :D .

Hmm, but as of right now, that annoyance is over the internet...we'll have to arrest Taiwan.

Now you can fry bacon in the nude AND in the dark!

The in-the-nude part hurts when the bacon sizzles and splatters hot grease!

Yes, but some people like that.

I think I have probably done this. I remember the pain if not the actual circumstances. :blush:

I suspect there are places down south where a woman willing to cook up bacon in the buff could get alot of proposals =D

Proposals of many kinds, no doubt. Some might even involve marriage...

They may also be the kind of women who are best seen doing so in the dark. ;)

Oh... I dunno. Ever think that a man who requires bacon in the middle of the night is either Alaskan or less than a prize himself? :D
