A Non-Physics Science Post: or All Men Secretly Want a Pet Monkey


They have finally gotten around to creating Chimeric Monkeys.  That is, monkeys with more than 2 parents.  At PSU in the initial stages of the Chimera Age, we worked with mice chimeras, some with as many as 4 parents (8 grandparents).  I even had one as a pet for 2 years after college.  He was a beauty, with 4 different coat colors in a very nice checkerboard covering his body. He lived a long and healthy life, jogging every day until the very end.  Something tells me human chimeras will have a little harder time of it.
