gene spliceing

We all laughed at the possibility of the jackalope. 'Littlefoot' sightings have come in from all over the world. I present to you another possibility with some excerpts from my Linux blog.

"As promised I am going to splice the genes of an elephant with that ofa chameleon. First you must have two species with the same nature. Inthis case the most obvious is the elephant with his ability to hide ina room. Then the chameleon who really doesn't hide but whispers soconvincingly (Jedi mind trick!) that you just don't believe he isthere. He says " you don't see me, do you?", the answer is always no."Man, don't force me to use my color skills on you."

"Then realize I am using metaphors. The elephant is the computer and thechameleon a particular kind of user (a digital artist, of course!)."

OK, now, let's see, move this nuclei here, snip, slice, diceand..............!?! There it is, the elephant can now ripple his colorin any pattern, shape, form and that tongue, you thought the trunk wasa nuisance. The chameleon, "you don't see me here, do you?", the answer is always no.

If you been in a smallish living-room with a huge digital TV or seen a digital billboard on the roadside, you'd know what I mean. Gene splicing has been done in the wild. Ever notice the kangaroo, camel and giraffe all have the same face? But don't try to talk to them, kangaroos will bop ya, camels spit (and smoke) and giraffe will look the other way and mutter (by the time the words come out, they are down the road anyway).
