A spoof on genetic engineering and how far its likely to go.
Engineered chickens that lay square eggs are now a reality, Sasqwartch Research Laboratories announced today.” It will revolutionise the way we eat eggs" says a spokesman, "the implications are huge with regard to grip when eating a dippy egg, a square egg cup will prevent tipping and we are confident we can produce standardised sizes to fit egg cups of the future". They are also working on an engineered giant chicken, with a product expected to be about the size of an ostrich egg. "Again standardisation is the target, a giant square egg the size of an average sliced loaf is our ultimate aim one that will slice and fit directly into a sandwich." Asked if we can expect to see giant chickens in supermarket fridges anytime soon our spokesman replied, "it's not likely there are issues, only so much can be eaten in one or two sittings they are more likely to used In processed foods such as tinned stew and curry and pet food.
