Pregnancy Test for Burgers - Weird News

Scientist in Kazakhstan have a test now that instantly detects if there is holy pig in their food.

Some chefs cheat try to save money and secretly put pork in dishes. Since eating pork is forbidden by Islam and Kazakhstan is mostly Muslim, they've come up with this little test stick. It works like a pregnancy test by changing colour when it detects food molecules that are found only in pork.

They just cut off a bit of their beef patty, and drop them in a glass of water. Stir, shake, put the test in. In a few minutes, the stick changes colour and tells you if there's pork present or not.

If we weren't supposed to eat pork though, then why does bacon taste so darned good!

  1. Well that's just neat. What else can we test for? Can I drop a slice of conversation into my water and test for caring?

    Oh hey - you might want to adjust your blog so it only shows 1 page instead of 7. What do you think?
