This section will just be for, basically random thoughts and feelings. Since my thought process is mostly random you can probably expect this to be updated frequently. Back to Previous Pennys. Back to Pen Penny.
Recently a young calf was cloned from the cells of a dead cow. This offers many opportunities for the beef industry, as they can reproduce cows to kill again that tasted the best. The finest steaks made by the thousands, from the same cow. Naming the cows might become a problem, especially with all the mix-ups between them. Betsy # 346 stop that! Other fields benefit also. This also makes a giant leap in the field of threats and threatening. A threat, once considered impossible, now can be carried out thanks to this scientific breakthrough. Example? Our perpetrator threatens someone by saying; "I will kill you a hundred times over!" Also, "I will kill you and then kill you again." Now this is entirely possible, if the perpetrator is rich even plausible. Even if the killing is spur of the moment, they can still clone them and do it again and again. The only real problem would be finding someone willing to clone someone who's dead, multiple times. And not tell anyone. If they do tell, make sure to “fire” them multiple times (evil laugh). How long can is too long to be dead before cloning something back to life is possible? They have to be able to do it a while afterwards or they wouldn’t know if the cow was worth cloning or not. The wealthy and foolish may re-clone a steak that they liked a lot to eat again. What about cloning a dead pet, possibly a cat, to eat? Yum, I can taste it already. Can we clone plants? I had a apple the other day that I would spend fortune on to have more of the same. Now people really can pay “anything” (by anything I mean lots of money) to have a certain plate again. This creates a whole field of problems in the good manners category. Think about it, after eating a hideous meal you say (lying) that you loved it and wished you could have it again. To your horror, you can, and thanks to your good manners you will! Imagine the best cows, chickens, fish, porcupines, orangutans, pigs, ducks, doves, pheasants, eagles, mice, insects, people (on occasion), wookies, eels, sharks, whales, squid, vulcans, spiders, and road kill all reproduced solely to consume once again. Makes you feel special don't it. -4/26/02
