Elvis is still alive — as a genetically engineered mouse

You can't make this stuff up, people. Crazy if you ask me.

Elvis is still alive — as a genetically engineered mouse

6 hrs ago


Don't be surprised if you find a hip-shakin' mouse with a pompadour nibbling your cheese. Koby Barhad, a graduate student from Britain's Royal College of Art, says he's bred (http://www.di12.rca.ac.uk/projects/all-that-i-am/) genetically engineered mice using the DNA of Elvis Presley. Barhad bought a sample of Elvis's hair (from eBay, so who knows if it's the real deal), had a biolab sequence the King's DNA, then had another specialized laboratory produce a mouse with the music icon's genetic make-up. It gets even weirder: Barhad also concocted (http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2012-07/10/elvis-mice) a string of experiments so the mice could mimic Elvis's life, including subjecting them to a mirror to inflate their sense of self-importance. There's no word yet on what the singing voices of the mice are like.

Its kind of scary and stupid all at the same time.

And then the mouse goes for sale on Ebay and some dude goes for it for his Elvis room...

My opinion, lol, which is opposite :D

Sounds to me as if the date should be 1st April and that Koby Barhad has too much money and time on his hands along with a huge dose of disrespect (if any of this is true).

"Barhad concocted a string of experiments" etc. This sounds very strange. I wonder how Barhad "concocted a string of experiments to mimic Elvis' life", besides the fact that a mouse would look at himself in the mirror and think he has company. I just can't see the humour. Bring on 1st April for the context of this one!

So I guess the next project for Koby Barhad might end up like this. If you guys are familiar with the movie.
Here's the part Dr. Frankenstein is showcasing his creation.

Enjoy folks.

Thank you Turbo, pertinent comment!!!!

In order to know for 100% sure that the hair and DNA were from Elvis you have to have a DNA sample that is 100% court proven to be that of Elvis-for comparison.
This is such a joke-thats what I want from a College of "Art?" ......some young man investing his time on a mouse and DNA....15 minutes of fame up!

What a bizarre thing to do!
