Hey, The thread about religion and science made me think about cloning, and cloning made me think of a joke. Of course these days in the era of "e- jokes" you've probably heard this one. For the 1% who haven't... ------------- A scientist was lonely -- his best friend and assistant had died recently and he missed him terribly. So, through the wonders of modern technology he was able to clone his deceased buddy, and the clone quickly grew to adulthood. At first, it was great. They got along very well, and the scientist began to dramatically increase the rate of conducting scientific experiments. "I should make a few more of him," the scientist thought to himself. "What a magnificent scientific team we would have." But then things began to get ugly. The clone began becoming more and more aggressive, pushing the scientist around. He started calling him names, swearing like crazy. "You stupid &#@%%% and you mother&&##** he would scream over and over. After a few more days, the clone was constantly bullying the scientist, swearing at him. Even when other people came to the lab the clone would scream and curse at them, causing them to flea in terror. The scientist knew he had to do something about his terrible and profane assistant. Suddenly he got an idea. "Look out the window! A supernova!" The scientist yelled. The clone quickly rushed to the window, in order to get a better view. The scientist ran up behind him and pushed the clone out of the window, causing him to fall to his death. WHen the police arrived, they were directed to the scientist's laboratory by witnesses, and they arrested him and led him out of the building. As the police began stuffing the scientist into a police car, he vainly protested. "Wait a minute, officers! What did I do? What's the charge???" One officer smiled at the other. "Well, sir, we're charging you with..." SCROLL DOWN READY? YOU CAN STILL GO BACK "...making an obscene clone fall."
