  Frankly I'm stunned it hasn't been done already. :) I just hope he/she/it didn't get a grant for this. :rolleyes:

  If you think about it, this could be THE thing for people trying to quit smoking ;)

  There was an episode in The Simpsons with this sort of thing. Nuclear waste fused together the seeds of Tobacco and Tomato to form a third plant, Tomacco. Fun as hell. A lot of kids became vegetarians. :D

  Sounds a bit like the "Caffeinated-Bacon" or the "Baconated-Grapefruit" they have for breakfast in Futurama. :D

  They have also put the firefly gene into a tabacoo plant. And yes it does glow.

  Still no cure for cancer, but hey, your cigarette now doubles as a nightlight!

  I didn't bother posting it - but I'm glad some-one was thinking along similar lines as me on this one. I can only hope they really did get something productive and positive out of this. Money, Attention???

  Actually this was done in the early days of genetic engennering. It was one of the first sucsessful multi gene things back in the 1980s

  I thought about starting smoking 'gain. But then I realised that it could take years before I'd get cancer. So no point in wasting the money.

  And fry my testicles?
  
  I don't think so. They're the only part of me that I find working (and working with) at some kind of adequate level.
  
  The rest of my functions and body is made mostly of scrap.
