milk and frog, the japanese way

how much would you pay for a bottle of milk?  $2? $3 at the most?
 
how about $65 for a 900ml bottle of fresh milk?
 
yep! there's such a thing as a $65 bottle of milk.. coming from nowhere else than Japan! 
 
according to the news.. the 'adult milk' is a stress-relief milk taken from cows at the break of dawn since the cows are discharging a lot of stress-relieving hormone called melatonin during the night.. ready for harvest in the morning..

did you know that a japanese research team has successfully tweaked genes to make the first transparent frogs..
 
now students can do away with dissection and fully observe the organs of a frog over it's entire life without opening them.. kewl huh? =D especially for those people who faint at the sight spilling guts.. and moreso for animal rights activists =)
