Every once in a while, the Blogster goes "oh", and this is one of those times.
We were browsing Kickstarter, the best known of the crowd funding web sites, and stumbled on the Glowing Plants project.
Yes, we know a thing or two about basic genetics from way back when and from Introduction to Molecular Biology around the time everybody woke up to it.
Yes, we have our reservations about messing with everything just because we can.
Yes, despite all of it, we would love to get our hands on seeds of these glowing plants.
Which won't happen because the guys who run the project did their due diligence and won't export seeds from the U.S.
There are plenty of other cool projects in crowd funding land, and we need to save money anyway, so it's alright.
A glow gene for the coat of the cats would be nice, especially the black one.
No more tripping over it in the dark...
Will the liability insurance companies one day insure only glow in the dark pets?
And no, we will not share the story of the English professor who cut open one of the very first glow sticks and spread it....
