If I glowed in the dark, I could be my own night light. Hopefully my glow would be bright enought that I could see the cat puke before I step in it with my bare feet.


...and you wouldn't need to turn the bathroom light in the middle of the night.

That's what the world really needs: glow in the dark cat puke.

This also reminds me of the Dr. Seuss story Green Eggs & Ham. Just wondering if it would leave you feeling a bit green if you ate them...

I have seen this done with onions and the same jelly fish gene - a remarkably simple process (or at least it looked easy) for plant life.

Now if they could only make the spider goats glow they'd REALLY be on to something...

Like I said, they weren't livestock but they've successfully used the jellyfish gene to make control of mosquito populations more efficient (for tackling malaria). Although of course you're right, much of the 'breakthrough' is what it means for research.

Well the fisrt I heard of glowing animals was years ago with ANDI the Monkey there's actually a fairly good illustraition showing how the process works.

Here's another link to the story that I think tells a little more about why and has another picture...apparently they glow after a blue light is put on them. Just to weird.
