We’ve all heard of Dolly the sheep. And aren’t you grateful they cloned a sheep?
One of the few species where the singular is the same as the plural.
Imagine if Dolly had been a dog. Then this article would have to have started with “We’ve all heard of Dolly the dogs.” Wouldn’t make sense.
There has been some degree of fuss about cloning. People thinking it will bring in the Brave New World.
I for one like that. So long as I’m an alpha.
But does cloning really bother people. At the Camberwell shops, reaction was mixed.
“Cloning sheep? If it’s good for the wool industry, I’d be bloody happy,” said Nigel.
“I’d like to clone myself, and send the clone to school for me. Like in that Michael Keaton movie ‘Multiplicity’”, said Kate, “Isn’t it weird how a light-hearted concept movie can suddenly crystallize your future. I have that problem with the Simpsons too.”
“Oh, great! A new put-down for comedians when a heckler interrupts: “look what happens when morons clone,” said Chris.
