What's up with the name: The company's name is a reference to the play "The Pillowman" by Martin McDonagh. There is a pig in one of the play's stories who chooses to remain green despite pressure from his pink contemporaries.
Recently, real green pigs have been created by adding genetic material from a jellyfish into regular pig embryos. The pigs are just a little green in normal light, mainly on their snouts, hooves, and eyes. But the pigs glow fluorescent green all over in black light. Seriously. "From the inside out," apparently. "Even their hearts and internal organs are green."
Here are some links to news stories about the pigs (we hope the links remain active, but if not, please let us know):
