Oink Oink Offal...

I was going to post on OMG (or GMO for you English folk)...but this appeared on my Reuters tickertape and just made me green with...envy?...No....Nausea?...Yes.

Transgenic, fluorescent, green pig...you think I'm joking right?
From the
article: "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.

¡Se trata de cerdos transgénicos, verdes, flourescentes! A continuación el artículo en Español... (e aqui em Portugues para o aristobaldo!)

"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....nice one Wu!

  1. Without actually reading the article...is there a particular reason why anyone might require a green pig...?

    Pink porkers or the Gloucester old spot kind work for me. Even a bristly old brown boar...but green?

    What do they want them to do? Photosynthesise?

    I'm very tired...Then..I write you in spanish.

    Bueno, me cuesta hilar las ideas, como comprenderás, por lo cual me resulta aún más dificil redactarlas en inglés, un idioma que no domino.

    Gracias por decir que tengo talento para escribir, aunque pienso que estás un tanto equivocado, jojojojo.

    El loveparade fue el 7 de enero, lo mejor, asistieron unas 200.000 personas y creo que fue el dj sasha, fotos tengo por ahi, subire una para que veas como fue

    Espero que estés muy bien, Span, gracias por tus consejos
    Un beso

    Cuidate

    DAniela ^^

  17. Perdona-me meu comportamiento mas o que quer dizer "pesaroso"?

    YanıtlaSil
  18. aristobaldo...Pesaroso? talvez é uma palavra que você não sabe...ou talvez é uma palavra que não se usam em Portugal...

    creo que es 'sorry' en ingles o 'lo siento' en español...
