And now - Toady B. Liar's dreams may come true.
No not in N.I. - it's the new voters who will be half-human/half-sheep.
Scientists have created the world's first human-sheep chimera - which has the body of a sheep and half-human organs.
The development is likely to revive criticisms about scientists playing God, with the possibility of silent viruses, which are harmless in animals, being introduced into the human race. Dr. Patrick Dixon, an international lecturer on biological trends, warned: "Many silent viruses could create a biological nightmare in humans. Mutant animal viruses are a real threat, as we have seen with HIV." Animal rights activists fear that if the cells get mixed together, they will end up with cellular fusion, creating a hybrid which would have the features and characteristics of both man and sheep.
This is apparently part of the "Daily Mail" public relations for the UK Channel 4 program "Animal Farm". UK Channel 4 is the wonderful station that gave us Jade Goody and "leading scientists" who apparently do not believe in global warming - suggestions later were effectively that the word "not" was dubbed in.
IMO: Automatically doubt the truth of any alleged factual program on UK Channel 4. I know nothing of the chimera but it certainly will appeal to politicians.
[Somebody just said "we already have a half-devil/half-human in Toady".]
