Some of them are pretty poorly researched. The bunny is suspected to be a fraud at least. At least some of these are legit though.

EDIT: at least the pictures displaying that intense glow are suspected of being frauds. I'm not sure if there has been confirmation of the glow by independent observers.

I have played with GFP mice. They were so awesome. Extra glow in the dark. I tried to get my PI to buy some but apparently "they would be really sweet" was not enough to spend money on.

Did you not try the all-purpose scientific principle of "Pleeeeeeease?"

 

[29apples]

I tried. The was much pouting involved on my part

They don't list glowstick ravers. :-(

Wow, a GFP human? That would be awesome Probably not ethical though. The kid would be teased at school. At least his parents won't lose him in the dark.

Maybe he could be a conditional mutant, so he only glows when he takes tamoxifen.

Doesn't work that way.
Not that you care, since science (and reality) can take a hike.
Whatever.

I'd settle for glowing eyes.

What about Homo chernobylis?

My teachers all told me I was very bright.

My mum was about three months pregnant with me when Chernobyl blew up a few hundred miles away. I guess I'm lucky to have the right number of heads

You're lucky your mom didn't believe Thalidomide was a wonder drug.

With a fish.

I think I've run out of intelligent responses to this stuff.

BTW, Thalidomide was withdrawn before she was conceived, never mind me.
