World Team Trophy 2012: Men's SP

Need...some...coffee...but at least there were enough good performances among the men to keep me mostly awake during the event!

Russians Clone First Human Beings

Fueled by a plethora of rather less-than-savory portrayals courtesy of Hollywood and science fiction, human clones conjure rather fearsome images in the collective psyche. Indeed, it is difficult to imagine clones as relatively friendly and harmless creatures residing in peace and prospering among their uncloned brethren. Yet the path-breaking research and experiments of a special team of Russian scientists indicate otherwise, supporting the claim that human reproductive cloning can indeed be a boon to society.

In the most recent issue of the Scientia Morozombus Journal, the FFKKR have reported their unprecedented success in the science of human reproductive cloning. "We have recently succeeded in the creation of several genetically identical copies of a human being--specifically, figure skater Evgeni Plushenko," said Dr. Valentin Piseev, one of the scientists involved in the scientific project.
