Green Monkeys!!

[JadecloudAlchemist]

Japanese researchers have genetically engineered monkeys whose hair roots, skin and blood glow green under a special light, and who have passed on their traits to their offspring, the first time this has been achieved in a primate.

Do you know how much you could sell glow in the dark pets for?
I don't either, but these people do.

Umm... I have no plans of owning a monkey in the near future... let alone a glow in the dark one.

Just another testament to the weirdness of Japan.

But, glow in the dark fish? You want the fish, don't you???

With a little lemon juice and tartar sauce... sure.

They did this with cats too.

It doesn't say whether the cats will breed true though. Sounds like the monkeys and glofish do.

wah! like in the movie 'hypnosis' midori no saru-the green monkey...

if you want to achieve a similar effect without splicing dna, you can make yourself glow under club light if you rub syrian rue(ground up) into your skin.
It's amazing. The stuff is brown and not really visable normaly, but under the light on skin, it glows big time. I don't think anyone really knows about this. I found out about it once when working in a club and people stared at me and then asked my face had glowing streaks. At that time, i would frequently use the rue but havn't played around with it in a whle because i tend to overuse it and then have to watch my diet. I don't think it's dangerous really on skin though, more if you eat it or snort it.

Scanned the article ... said something about helping study ALS, Parkinson's and other hard-to-treat diseases. Have to do more reading later.
