The Crab Apple

Scientists shocked the world last night when they announced they have succeeded in splicing the DNA of a crab with the DNA of an apple to produce the world's first crabapple. 

This scientific breakthrough which mixes fruit and crustacean to form a fruistacean has left many shell shocked as they struggle to process the implications of this gamble with nature.

Many politicians have branded the scientists behind the creation of the crabapple as "irresponsible" and slammed their laboratory based antics as "playing god."

One of the leading scientists at the core of the crabapple creation has described it as a "very angry creature."

It is unclear what the next step may be in this DNA tombola. An inside source of the Scientific institute where the crabapple came to fruition has leaked the possibility of the team working to create a lobanana where the DNA of a lobster is mixed with that of a banana.
