First, for my young and impressionable readers, a couple of points: the correct language is “Greg and I,” never go with older boys who claim to have a creature in their garage (it won’t end well, whether they have a creature or not), and I don’t hate cats (I have a cat). All these things were attempted for the sake of humor – don’t try this at home.
As for the DIY Garage Biotech, this is already starting to sound like old news. Just a matter of time before some homebrew genetic mutations are released to walk, crawl, and/or slither among us. Exciting times!
