BBQing in the dark now you can see where you dropped those sausages.

If I get a glowing Liver replacement, will I be extra fun at the disco?

Sausages with a green tint are nothing new.
The unlicensed hot dog stalls have been selling them for years.
But, if they do glow in the dark then a pack of chipolatas will be much cheaper (and easier to biodegrade) than yer average glow-stick.
I'll get me new fluorescent jacket - it's made out of crackling.

Just imagine all those sad people people can now match their computers..... and cars......

If humans were given glow in the dark noses imagine all the energy we'd save from the reduced need for artificial lighting. In fact, give humans genetic material from electric eels as well and we could power our gadgets by touch.

if this gene was added to the human race.

see little Chinese babies with glow in the dark hands?? or maybe athletes even! then we can shut down the floodlights at a night game and watch them buzz about like fireflies.
(yes, i know this is hardly PC, but what the hell, it is early on a wednesday)

Do they glow in the dark (i.e. could I use one as a night light?) or are they just florescent under UV light? It's not the same thing. I've really been looking forward to glow in the dark animals so please get it straight.

IIRC the Jellyfish genes concerned impart bioluminescence so they do, indeed, glow in the dark.

re: your liver transplant
Could you please give us more information about how much fun you are at the disco now, to enable us to make this "extra fun" assessment

I've noticed my organ glowing in the dark sometimes, perhaps I'm related to a mutant Chinese jellyfish?

It's more about what it would add to the general nights festivities, and have more useful than just keeping me alive. I feel that glowing internal organs will aid my Disco fun in a number of ways..
1) I'll be able to see my wallet after dropping it on the floor while propping up a lamppost waiting for a taxi
2) I'll be able to do cool E.T. style glowing-chest tricks to impress the ladies
3) It'll allow me to win many a drink with bar bets.. 'I bet I can make my abdomen glow...'
And other such things.

I guess @Glowing Organs has this genetic modification:

I'll get my coat.

You've been really looking forward to glow in the dark animals? how strange : for what possible use? :-D
Posted Wednesday 9th January 2008 15:08 GMT
... will be whether or not it is possible to create a red-nosed reindeer.
Posted Wednesday 9th January 2008 16:49 GMT
classic :)
Still glow in the dark piggies sound useful....esp for late night BBQ's as written above.

Well, for a start, we could all stop tripping over our cats in the dark !

It'd sure make them easier to kick anyway...

I'll wait for the glow in the dark women.
Posted Thursday 10th January 2008 01:41 GMT
".. perhaps I'm related .."
Either that or you benn having sex with scyphozoans
Posted Thursday 10th January 2008 19:32 GMT
...or you've contracted a strange form of STD !! However, a more likely explaination is that you have not washed properly and are now harbouring a lot of bioluminescent fungi.
