Glowing Mozzies
Could somebody please manipulate the genes of mosquitoes such that they glow (the mozzies, not the genes)?

i’ve contacted a friend, dr billy (gene specialist), who’s working on the task as i erm… type.
he suggests cross breeding them with fireflys while-u-wait (as a quick and dirty solution).
Or maybe they could just kindly explode when they are within a meter of a human. I mean, if it’s geneticly possible why limit ourselves to just turn them into fluoride bugs?
Hm, that is actually a really good idea Martijn. Steve, could you ask your gene specialist friend to work on this human-perimeter-explosion gene? That’d be neat. Then we won’t even have to go through the hassle of squishing them ourselves :)
