Glow-in-the-Dark Monkeys!

It seems a group of Japanese scientists have bred monkeys that glow in the dark. They claim that this will help scientists to treat diseases in humans. Call me unimaginative but that smacks of a non sequitur to me. In fact, I half suspect they just thought glow-monkeys would be cool, and then thought up a scientific-sounding reason to do it. Or maybe that's just what I would have done. Meanwhile the common cold still remains uncured. Go figure.
