X-Piggies!

I was resisting eat-out last Friday. Anyway I failed. The lunch chat went on too long that temptation changed my initial no-go to go-go.

The lunch group was entertained by a few topics. Magic was one. Check out the magic by Cyril Takayma. I don't know much of him, but Cyril's magic is totally impressive!

It is original and highly visual. I find his close-up magic is way more entertaining than David Blaine or David Copperfield. He involves the audience much more than other magicians, which makes you floored. I should not believe it is real but his performance is really something.

Other than that, the lunch group was also entertained by my levitation which succeeded before but malfunctioned that day.

What else? Pigs. We talked about pigs. One table end was mumbling on glow-in-the-dark. I checked if they were talking about glow-in-the-dark bowling.

Nope. The group was actually enjoying a talk on three little pigs that were successfully bred in Taiwan and are thoroughly green in dark.

I couldn't really relate them to real pigs anymore. "X-Pigs?" was my first reaction. If genetically mutated humans are X-Men, then mutated pigs should reasonably be X-Pigs!

It is pretty freaky to see glow-in-dark pigs. When seeing these pigs in dark, you may think you have a special night vision. Scientists state that their hearts and internal organs are green. In daylight, their eyes, teeth and trotters are green. Most important of all, they were bred for stem cells research.

Ever consider putting an X-piggy in your room as night light? It may just work as well, but you may not like the "oink" :-)
