I was at my local pet store shopping for some tropical fish when I saw a new kind that I'd never seen before. The fish were neon pink, green, and yellow. Turns out they were made by taking a normal Zebro Danio fish and combining its DNA with that from a Sea Anemonie. I'm probably the only one here who didn't know these fish existed, but then again I do live on the fringes of the civilized world...

Am I the only one that thought this was going to have something to do with General Motors?

Yes. This is coming from the guy who used to work for General Motors.

I was wondering what kind of fish General Motors made, too.

I'm a bird. I am the 1% (of pets).

Genetically Modified is probably safer than a General Motors fish.

Those fish are illegal in California.
Edit: Just looked at their webpage, apparently Fish & Game has reversed their deicision, but they're still tightly controlled. I think it's a bad idea. If the fish were somehow released and populated in a non-native environment, there's no telling what would happen.

So it will break down often but at least parts will be cheap.

I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.
