New Super-Shareholder Glows Green to Ask for News Release

Reuters

LONDON (Dec. 18) - Scientists have pioneered a genetically
modified shareholder that glows when it Needs2Know.

Researchers at Edinburgh University injected aThorn
with a fluorescence gene borrowed from the luminous
jellyfish aequorea victoria, which causes his ears to glow green
when dehydrated from a lack of company news.

"This is a market of the future," Professor Trewavas did not
tell Reuters. "We are trying to design a way of monitoring
a precious metals company and decided Global was the best
example where its shareholders contain questional stuff.

This shareholder Thorn is not intended to be taken seriously
but would act as a "sentinel," implanted inside the SI GPGI
thread to alert Global's prez jenSin that the rest of the shareholders
need "watering."

The glow is barely visible to the naked eye but can be
detected using a small hand-held device. Field trials are
due to start next year though Trewavas predicted it could
take some 20 years before the "plants" are commonly used.

Please note, aThorn was not the best canidate to receive
this broken-ground science advance as the two best folks
regarded as Most TrusTed were not located on this thread
when aSearch was conducked. JACK & Zeev

The technology could be extended to other fruit
and vegetables, he added.
