south korea clones dog
so according to this article, south korea has become the first country to clone a dog. bwoohahahaha! get it? south korea, dog, clone, short food supply? o c'mon people, its right there. anyway, they did. the country's leading geneticist, Hwang Woo-suk, took 1,095 embryos which were gleaned from the ear skin cells of a male afghan hound, used them to impregnate 123 female dogs [boy did that afghan hound miss out or what?] which spawned three pregnancies, of which one miscarried and one died of pneumonia 22 days after birth, leaving the remaining apparently healthy dog to be named snuppy. pretty shitty path to sustained existence just to end up with a name like "snuppy". i would be pissed if i were that dog. i would bite everybody. you make it through all that, 1095 little embryos down to one living result, i'd wanna be named something cool and heroic, something majestic, like "Conan Gargamel The Triumphant!" or something along those lines. they would probably have to either change my name or put me down.

i would want a theme song too, if i were that dog. actually, i'd like to have a theme song now. something that played just before i entered a room, so everybody knew it was me. they'd say "that guy's so cool with his own theme song." they'd comment to each other "this guy's awesome." they would probably hum the chorus too. yeah.
