Calm down Baba, she ain't real.
I'll admit though, she looks pretty. I'd so bang her if she wasn't a fuckin' cat.

It's only a matter of time before we have actual furries living among us.

Unethical. Two species may certainly borrow genes, but superimposing two species together is probably a bad idea.

Yeah, just imagine being a centaur! You wouldn't be able to fit in most places, people would be bothering you right and left for rides, and nothing in the men's aisle would fit!
However, it would be cool to have wings...

This whole thing sounds like fun to me. I want a glow-in-the-dark goldfish.

Oh no. The last time this happened some tatooed man blew up a little girl/dog thingy!

Eh, you win some, you lose some, the others, you have to split at a molecular level and call it the power of God.

Do the mice beg for the sweet release of death? Or just glow?

Think about how cool it would be if we could make glow-in-the-dark cows, so we'd have glowing steaks and hamburgers. There'd be all kinds of kids meals promotions... they probably wouldn't even have to put toys in the boxes for a while.

I was wondering that. How would it feel to have glow in the dark skin?

I'm just happy to be able to use the word 'chimera' in a normal conversation.

Saw that earlier today. Life is getting weirder and weirder.

Oh well. I don't like the idea of giving animals human brains - that's just creepy. You end up with misrable, insane animals. But breeding animals to grow human organs for transplants - that's a good idea in my opinion.
And I don't have that much of a problem with splicing the DNA of too different species together, as long as you have a good reason. While I'm not for senseless animal testing, if it's for the common good instead of just folks screwing around - what's the problem?
All we have to really worry about are man-made werewolves. Or Donn and Adam ordering a shipment of four-eared cats and selling them via pop-up ads.
Acutally, if they could find a humane way to produce them - I'd like designer pets. Like an elephant the size of a dog and stuff like that. There would be other applications, too. Manufacturing chimeras that could be raised as livestock on mars or improving the immune systems of humans.
But yeah, this could go very wrong very fast. Especially if they decide to just start turning people into canaries or something.
I'm sure a lot of people argued that walking on the moon was an afront to God, too.
Besides, we've already wiped out thousands of species by mistake. As long as they're not horribly twisted half-living abominations - I don't see why we shouldn't give making some new ones a shot.
Now for the real challenge - create a blue hedgehog that can break the sound barrier!
Actually, a two-tailed fox would problably be easier. Or a purple cat.

Does it involve paint and selotape with the addition of a jet fighter, oh and the torture of a common hedgehog?:lol:
I would love to see a House Hippo like on the TV awareness ad. This 2inch hippo roaming the house like a mouse. That would be so cool... then again a glowing mouse like the pic would be cool too. Though the owls would have a easy time at dinner!

After careful deliberation, I have decided that I would
probably hit that, but I would have to spend several years afterwards justifying it in my head.

I'd need to pop a couple of shots first, but I'd probably do it.
