Some believe that there are wild mbp chimeras wandering around colorado.
If you have any information please donot hesitate to respond!







Scientists at Linden Labs in San Francisco, California have successfully created a human-bear-pig chimera. Somatic cells from human and bear tissue were first transfected with a bacterial chromosome containing the Nanog gene and a GFP-IRES-puromycin resistance gene cassette. After a puromyocin screen was performed, the remaining cells were treated with a retroviral induction of Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-myc, thus creating induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS). Induced pluripotent stem cells were used because of the ethical concern surrounding embryonic stem cells. The cells were then injected into pig blastocysts and introduced into the uteri of pseudo-pregnant pigs. The discovery was published today in the advance online edition of Nature Gold.

“This is quite an accomplishment for which I have great confidence will lead to continued advances in human-animal chimera production,” says Dr. Eli Vance, chief science officer of Linden Labs. “We soon hope to commercialize this technology and realize our continued vision by which any human may realize a physical chimera lifestyle.”


Al Gore headed up the research but was not available for questioning.

This picture has been available on the internet for at least 7 years. I never knew it was the one associated with the man-bear-pig, I will have to look into that.

From what I remember it was a hoax. Let me check some sources.

That is amazing!



I do not want to sound cold, but it appears that thing needs to be put out of its misery.

If it's real and alive, these people are not very impressed

Edit: Full Picture

just because when your in a mall people look like your a foreign creature doesnt mean its gonna happen to every other creature.

Wait, what? I will edit to see if I can make sense....

"Just because you're in a mall people and you look like you're a foreign creature doesnt mean it's going to happen to every other creature."

Okay, I cleaned it up, but--still--you are confusing plucky, greatly. What are you tryin to say? Xenophobia is a bad thing? I'm lost.

Okay, you have since edited, but "listen it may be normal for people to look at you funny while your in the mall but if its an exibit those people may have looked already" is still confusing. First, review the difference between "your" and you're" and second, realize that this is a discussion forum and people read what you write.
