The station is called WFTV, but wouldn't it be more appropriate as WTF-TV?
This one in particular made me say WTF:
Quote:
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- A transgenic green pig jostles normal pigs in Taipei, Taiwan. A research team at Taiwan's leading National Taiwan University succeeded in breeding three male green pigs by injecting fluorescent green protein into embryonic pigs. There are partially green pigs elsewhere in the world but those three pigs are the only ones that are green from inside out, including their hearts and internal organs. (01/12/06 AP photo)
I have to ask, why?

The key is that it wasn't just green protein, but that it was a florescent green protein from a different species, in this case from jelly fish.
