Wondering what new amazements of biotech are out now? I know I have been. Cancer? Nope, no cure. The common cold? Sadly, no. Well then what could all
of those scientists and billions of dollars doing?
What if I told you mutant transgenic fish, remote-control pets, and two Nigerian dwarf goats that make the strongest natural material in the world?
Shocked? Yeah, I was too. So lets take a look at all of the wonder...
First the wonderful mutant transgenic fish. None other than the zebrafish! It took scientists four years of breeding to create these glowing animals.
Currently in red, yellow, and green, scientists plan on making more colors. Introducing Crayola Fish!

Remote-control rats? Holy bad cheese Batman! Say it isn't so. Well, I am afraid it is. Physiologists at the State University of New York Downstate
Medical Center in Brooklyn have created remotely piloted rats. By stimulating the animal's pleasure center in the brain with electrodes, they can
guide them through complex terrain up to 500 yards away.

And last...what the heck are two goats doing with their own security at a concrete bunker on on the former Air Force base in Plattsburgh, New York?
Why...being milked for silk of course! But the silk from these wonder goats is just 3 microns thick, and three times as tough as DuPont's bulletproof
Kevlar material. By injecting the orb weaver spider's genes into the father of the goats, scientists are working with the government on this amazing
material. Forget Roswell, this is what they are hiding.

Go ahead, post a comment about one or all of these stories. You know you want to.
