Post Spinach Pig

Finally crossed a pig with spinach

<a href="http://www.cosmiverse.com/science01250201.html" target="_blank">http://www.cosmiverse.com/science01250201.html</a>

On another note, say some nasty event killed all of our records, knowledge, etc, could these things really, really screw a future Darwin around when evolution got rediscovered (for want of a better word)

I mean, all of a sudden, those claims about a mammal and a plant having closer DNA than a Mammal and another mammal would become honest (Yes, that's what the creation "scientists" who say this are doing, they're merely jumping the gun, not quite as bad as lieing, now is it? )

I'd say the significance is more culinary than academic.
Probably the next step will be french scientists crossing pigs with peppermint (see Asterix comics)

Two questions.

1 - Isn't it only catholics who do this?

2 - What were they trying to protect the pig from? Only I suspect garlic would work better.
