Do YOU believe this?

DID YOU KNOW?

Scientists have managed to mix a goat with a spider to create a goat
that produces spider's silk in its milk. The goats look completely
normal, and they are in fact only 1/70,000th spider. By inserting
just one spider gene into a goat's egg, the adult goat produces milk
that can be processed to create an incredibly strong spider's silk
fabric. The 'Biosteel' fabric is estimated to be five times as strong
as steel, and about the same weight as cotton.

The wonders of science. LOL

Sounds like some scientists have way too much time on their hands.

Man is gonna keep screwing around with nature. It's gonna bite us in the butt one day, and it is gonna bite hard.

I agree. Look what Peter Jackson did with Andy Serkis and CGI. lol!

And no, I don't think they crossed and goat and a spidey.

I agree with Gollum. One day scientist are going to accidently create something they wish they hadn't...

Like Michael Jackson for example?

I wonder why these scientists aren't spending as much time researching cures for illness and disease afflicting mankind.

how true, things are going to get very bad soon IMHO

"like I said before it's all about the green"

I would love to believe that the Grant $$$ for Cancer Research, etc. is a LOT more than for research to make goat/spidey milk.
