Does this seem like a bad idea to anyone else?

So, I've recently noticed noticed a couple of strange science freaks in the news lately.



The first is glowing dogs. Apparently, some freaky South Korean scientists have cloned dogs that glow a fluorescent red. Okay, kinda cool. A lot creepy. Basically, they are normal looking beagles that glow red under ultraviolet light. They probably could have saved a lot of time and money if they had just sent normal dogs to a North Korean nuclear power plant. Bigity bam, cheap glowing dogs! Read a news article about the scintillating schnauzers here.



The second is a crossbreed of a sheep and a pig. Aptly named a sheeppig. Not too imaginative if I may say. Why in the hell would anyone even want to do this. It's not like they crossbred two cute animals to create some sort of uber-cute kitten/baby seal/unicorn creature. No, they picked what are probably the two ugliest farm animals and came up with this. Gahh! What a vile looking beast. The only way it could have been worse would have been a monkey and a cow. Or Oprah and Dr. Phil...



Seriously, this sort of thing can only lead to bad things happening, like cross species viruses (you think swine flu is bad, wait for sheeppig flu), or glowing puppy turds.



Actually, glowing puppy turds may not be such a bad thing, you wouldn't accidentally step on them in the dark.
