Genetically Engineered Pikachus

For Scientific Writing, our homework assignment is to find an article about bioengineering. The article I've actually found is about genetically modified mosquitoes, because the article about Pikachus wasn't actually an article, it was just a blog post about a guy selling engineered pikachus on an auction site. Still, I thought it was cool, although most speculation says that they are just mice with yellow make-up and a bit of rouge. I found the article while typing "Genetically Engineered Pigs" into the google search engine. Oh the things you can find on the internet!

I think we are all in agreement that it would be a lot more awesome to have more pikachus in this world than mosquitoes. Although rats that can send out electric shocks might become very destructive pests...

  1. Hmmmmm. . . Pikachus are very annoying, but so are mosquitoes. According to the Zelda comics pikachus are a risk to humanity so maybe mosquitoes are preferable.
