Mad Science-Flourescent Pigs

Wow file this under another useless scientific wonder. Who thinks up these things. Like the purpose of this is what....to find lost pigs in the dark? Or to have them wander around night clubs as a conversation piece?

Scientists in Taiwan say they have bred three pigs that "glow in the dark".

They claim that while other researchers have bred partly fluorescent pigs, theirs are the only pigs in the world which are green through and through.

The pigs are transgenic, created by adding genetic material from jellyfish into a normal pig embryo.

When lit up in the dark, the pigs glow green
