Cats that glow in the dark (http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=071212210021.3u7d8gpx&show_article=1).


I don't have anything else to say about this.
I just felt it should be mentioned here.

Forget doing this for scientific purposes - how about doing this for purely aesthetic (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=17097173&ft=1&f=1008)purpose:


At the forefront of this movement is SymbioticA, a bioart laboratory funded by the University of Western Australia. Run by Ionat Zurr and her husband Oron Catts, the couple is continually pushing the boundaries of art; they've grown a replica of an ear with living human skin cells, miniature wings with the flesh of a pig and mouse cells in the shape of a tiny leather jacket.

Not that it matters much but as is usually the case in science reporting, the very first sentence of the story is absolutely factually wrong.

This article (http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200712/200712130008.html) does a better job of correctly describing what was done.

As soon as you called this a "dark ride kitty," I suddenly feel I have to have one.

Do you first have to hold them under a lamp?

Or do you have to snap their backs and shake them up to make them glow? :evil:
