a world of bioluminescence

I read a book on bioluminescence a few years ago (it’s in the archives, somewhere) and I remember that the author felt that the original researchers in the area, biology I assume, were thought by many of their colleagues to be a little bit ‘silly’ and not as ‘serious’ as other researchers, the importance of color once again casually dismissed by the ‘rational’ mind.
    But when bioluminescent creatures of green, blue and eventually red were discovered by independent researchers around the world, above and below sea level, there was great excitement. Red, green and blue are, of course, the additive primaries of light, the colors that are projected from your computer screen and combined by your eyes and mind to form the illusion of a full range of colors.
    Forget HD DVD and yer Blu-ray, after watching this presentation and considering the gene-splicers who must be working on this, I can’t help but think . . . I want bioluminescent streaming color video pets!
