No doubt you all remember my Nebula-winning story, “The Green Leopard Plague,” which revolves around a contagious virus which allows people to take energy direct from the sun.
Well, guess what? I’ve scored another hit on the WJW Predict-O-Meter!
According to this video, “scientists” (as they are always called in these presentations) have worked out a way to implant chloroplasts in mammalian tissue— specifically hamster tissue.
We may soon anticipate swarms of green super-hamsters running amuck over the scenery. Or at least in films with titles like “Night of the Hamster.”
I can hardly wait!
