Scientists. There a weird lot aren’t they? Maybe it’s something about spending 8 years at school in order to spend 18 hour days hanging around vivisected animals. That dedication does however turn up the odd (and we do mean odd) gem, and this certainly qualifies. Yep, today boffins have managed to introduce a new gene to the humble Marmoset’s makeup by..giving it glow in the dark electric feet! Imagine having electric feet! You could read in bed at night by the light of your bunions alone! Anyway, apparently the electric foot Marmoset had a baby, also with electric feet, which represents:
” The first time an added gene has been inherited…by a monkey”
Eventually, we’ll all have glowing chimps lighting our homes, and there’s always the slim chance I can use this to look more like the Hulk (I already have the ripped purple trousers).
