Apparently cloning primates isn't as easy as sheep... From the New Scientist... "A high percentage of cloned monkey embryos that look healthy are really a "gallery of horrors" deep within"...."the trauma of removing the nucleus from the egg might be what triggers the defects" http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns999 91679"

    It is however, fairly easy to clone camels. My plot for world domination is still right on schedule..

    God's copy protection.

    So are the Ten Commandments the EULA then?

  3. Camels? I think not...... by Red+Moose · · Score: 4, Funny
    Regarding the post above, I think camels may still be too much hassle to clone - I saw the Day of the Triffids two days ago and I think cloning mutant plants might be easier. Plus it would look stupid if your clones had only one hump instead of two, and you might end with scary hybrids with *three* humps. ARGH!

    I am going to start with beetroot or turnips because 10ft screaming vegetables would instil way more terror in people (when invading towns for world domination plan, etc., ).

    Acting stupid isn't much fun when there's someone around who knows better

      I don't know what you are talking about, the more humps the better, I'd like a camel with eight humps. It would be like the minivan of camels (but without all the cup holders) and me and my friends can all go to the beach with our surfboards on the back of the camel.

      (Camels don't let camels smoke camels).
