Glowy the Glowball Glowbeast

Recently the Nobel Prize committee awarded the Nobel in chemistry to a group of US and Japanese researchers who successfully gave cats, rats and monkeys the same glow genes found in certain jelly fish. The thinking behind it is that these scientists tag the genes of specific diseases with the glowy gene, attatch it to the DNA of certain animals and breed a new batch. The ones born with a healthy glow have successfully been born into the doom of the chosen disease. The purpose being that it makes it a lot simpler to see if they have cured the disease when the buggers stop glowing. Simple.

Now if only they can inject my eye juices with the glow goo so I can have a set of wicked cartoon night eyes. Though it may be hard to sleep after. Hmmm.
