MUTANT SWAN
SHOCK!!

By our Frankenstein Reporter, Gene Pitney

We can however pre-empt Mr Rudden by exclusively revealing that MONSANTO, the American Franken-Food giant, is working flat out round the clock in the race to analyse Darren's genotype.
            "Swans are 85 percent human, you know," a lab worker, who cannot be identified, confessed to us from Seattle, Washington. "But it's the other 15 percent that makes them edible. Or would do, if the fuckers didn't stink so much in the cooker."
        Monsanto are investigating ways of inserting microwaveable tikka masala genes into Darren's muscular backside.

And what of rumours flying round Constitution Street that Monsanto are also secretly injecting swan genes into human claimant volunteers?
        "Man - that's more than my life's worth, to comment on that," our mole gasped, audibly. "But let me just say this...where do you think those damn pictures of Angels came from down the centuries? Think about it dude."
        At that there was the sharp crack of gunshots followed by screaming, and the line went suddenly dead.

Port o Leith regulars have been heard to comment that John Macaulay has been looking somewhat angelic of late.

Shortly after writing the original swan piece for you, magnificat succumbed to an unseasonal bout of the website blues. These happen when you realise that your readership, loyal and valued though it is, can be enumerated using the fingers of one hand alone.
        However, simply deleting this next paragraph would spoil the fun of the succeeding stories. So we present it complete and unedited.
