Golden eyes, I want golden eyes.

As long as I have wings when I die, I'll be satisified. I don't care if they look like bat wings or bird wings... I just want wings dammit!

I'll see your glowing pigs, and raise you a glowing bunny. Meet Alba, the transgenic rabbit:

THere was a thread about 6-8 months ago that talked about manimals and the ethics of it. I was called a prude and a luddite because I frowned on it, so I changed my stance. I'm still waiting for bucky, moo-moo and scratchy: the man-beaver (aka human chainsaw); man-cow (aka lawnmower) and man-badger (aka intelligent shovel) that were going to free me from yard work forever.

Come on, all you cloning & eugenics fans... where's my tools? I'm tired of the promise of the future, I want my yard cleaned up, and I want it yesterday!

@ Lemur, I'll see your transgenic bunny and raise you PyroNelly, the firebreathing Elephant.

On second thoughts maybe I'll fold, never was much good at bluffing.

@ Don Corleone, Don't be silly, obviously no one thinks that hybrid manimals should be used for such trivial tasks. Obviously they should only ever be created in highly secure enviroments for extremely specific purposes.

Like some sort of Colosseum style televised arena broadcast on pay per view!

I can see it now: Rhino-Man vs Snake-Woman, the fight of the decade. Man, I should have gone into GeneticMonsterism - thats where the real money is these days.

We can only hope, Gibbon, we can only hope. First we have to get past the growing-human-ears-on-the-backs-of-mice phase, amusing as it may be:

How could anyone look at that cute li'l ear and say it's wrong?
