Okay, everyone. I'll grab his arms. The rest of you break out the whiffle bats. Be efficient: I can't hold him for long.

How DARE you sir have the gall to come here and say this? You want a soulless abomination? That science can't work on humans anyway.

I can't not make the goat in that picture seem like it is more than a few inches tall. I'm trying to see it as a regular sized baby goat but I just can't. Is that a pygmy goat?

Just another product of the nanny state.

This thread is relevant to my interests.

Also, this is, or will be, how it begins. Cloning of animals for economic purposes -> too many indviduals with the same genetic susceptibility -> wipe-out of species

Human and animal clones never live very long, so don't get too excited.

There's still much for us to learn about genetics.

..already tried it - ethyl, methane, sulfinate as an alkylating agent and potent mutagen; it created a virus so lethal the subject was dead before it even left the table.

Thirty-seven dollars' worth of ordinary lab hardware, and - presumably - a goat.

Don't forget the goat if you try this at home.

$37 to make a goat is pretty amazing. If only there were an even cheaper way of making more goats...

A traveling salesman trying to make a buck was driving through the plains of Nebraska when he decided to stop at a farmhouse coming up on his left.
As he was walking up the driveway toward the front door of the house, a pig with three legs caught his eye. It was just hobbling through the grass.
When the farmer answered the door and asked what he was selling, the salesman first asked about the three legged pig.
"That pig is the most amazing pig in the land, son." The farmer said
"Last year, our house caught fire when we were all asleep and that pig ran in and woke us all up one by one and saved our lives!"
The salesman was surprised. "That is one special pig" He said.
The Farmer replied, "That's not all. Last summer, that pig jumped into the pond and dragged my drowning son to safety. He would have died."
The salesman was in disbelief as to how incredible this pig was. "One question. Why does he have 3 legs, is it from the fire?" He asked
"Pig like that? You don't eat him all at once."
