Thread Name: BS: Fluorescent Green Pigs
Subject: RE: BS: Fluorescent Green Pigs
i once knew of a marine biologist who was doing research on jellyfish
to find out why and how they were flourescent or phosforescent...esp.
when near nuclear submarines...this caused the subs to be more visible
on radar...she had to collect the jellyfish and put them in a blender and seperate them into their components. a hard thing for a jelly fish lover to have to do.

and all for the navy as i recall....

maybe some relation to the ones used here to genetically engineer these green piggs...maybe kermit and miss piggy would like to see some pink frogs??
