New GM crop to save the world!

...did anyone hear on the radio about a fantasic invention of genetic modification?.. square peas! gone are the problems of chasing those little green dudes round your plate - only to get them on your fork, then they fall off! (the correct ettiquite of eating peas is to squash them on the back of your fork) Well gone are the days of social correctness.. peas can now be eaten by the fork or spoonfull allowing the eater total control, coz the ickle dudes don't roll around anymore..

good huh?

cept when they grow up to be B I G square peas, and eat London for breakfast..
leest they try them out on you islanders first

Well its good to know that people think about these things because that really does piss me off when im on exercise or in a conflict i think that is a cool idea....

Thank you Misstix, I was complaining today about how nobody had embraced the day properly

I was wondering how long it would take..

Tee hee hee


Did you hear also that today is the last day for 1 and 2 pence pieces? They are being withdrawn from circulation! what we gonna do if some thing costs 99p? NO MORE PENNY CHANGE!!! Or one-p-chews!!

the problem with peas is this

I'm not that silly - you can't make an april fool out of me - we need 2p's!!!

are you sure Ros?? you could use 2x1p's instead..

but as they are making 1 peas redundant and square we can't use them either!
lalalalaaa...

oi, thank god for big gnomes...such is the danger of uber peas

now...unless im very much mistaken..

this was one year ago exaclty...

Actually, I want square eggs. Poor hens that have to lay them, though...

Don't you guys think that this creation of square peas is kind of STUPID? All the money that went into it... It could have been used for cancer research or AIDS or chronic pain or something like that.

I don't intend to sound all hostile about it. I guess it is pretty impressive that they can do that. But for some reason I don't think you'll get much sympathy from a chronic pain patient when you tell him all about the horors and trauma of your peas rolling away from your fork.

i dont think someone read the thread *looks up*

Actually Shawnie, it's all the same research. If we can alter the shape of a pea, can we alter the shape of bloodcells to so they would be less susceptable to disease? Can we alter cells to become resistant or immune to AIDS?

Genetic modification has taken quite a bit of heat but there are many fabulous uses for it that have still yet to be thought of.

Like my plan for world domination.
{No wait, leave that part out.}

i'm not sure whcih I laughed at more...this threads 1st post or shawnies post! Sorry no offence but that's pretty funny!

April fools isn't really that big around here but I still saw that for what it is. Come on if your going to do April fools. Do something believable. Everyone I know grew out of April fools at around grade three... But I do remember this little tid bit. He/she who fools after noon is him/herself a fool.

yeh...

thats never stopped me before...

God bless the general motors company

But what If someone hates peas therye going to squish em regardless of squareness and then they'll look the same... I kno me boyf would

I eat my peas with honey.
I've done it all my life.
It makes the peas taste funny
but it keeps them on the knife.
