Apparently some of these boffin types have been devoting a considerable amount of time to re-inventing an extinct breed of pig, now quite why this is useful I just don't know but no doubt they're all clapping each other on the back and reaching for the bubbly in order to celebrate their award for being too clever by three-quarters. This is a good example of the trouble with the vast amount of academic research these days - it's all very wonderful but is it of any use? Now if they'd devoted themselves to creating a low-methane cow (with obvious environmental benefits) I would be pushing my way to the front of the queue to congratulate them. And as for some of the pseudo science that is spun by sociologists/social psychologists...just don't get me started.
Unfortunately Herr Doktor von Squeakenstein has just emerged from the safety of his explosion proof bunker at the heart of his laboratory and inspired by the above mentioned breakthrough in genetics has infomed me that "in zer future zer little girls will be made of sugar und spice und laboratory mice" A chilling revelation if ever....
