Project Copycat Clones A Cat

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-wish-copycat-cloned-a-chicken dept.

From Yahoo news: "A domestic cat was cloned late last year in a Texas A&M University research program called CopyCat....Cloning research at the university has been funded with more than $3.5 million in investments from John Sperling, an 81-year-old financier who formed Genetic Savings & Clone Inc." (These Texans know how to name things, too.)"

      I'm just glad that they didn't clone a dog, because dogs eat information

      Well, this goes to show that there's more than one way to skin a cat.

    Oh, I guess I did! Wow, and to think that I was actually hoping for consistency with the Slashdot editors. I guess that's too much to ask.

    In response, please enjoy this goatse.cx link.

    Fuck Slashdot.

    /. math: 50 Karma, +2 Funny, -2 Overrated, = 49 Karma. It just ain't right.

    As for your signature, that's how it works. 50 is the cap. You had 50, got a +1 which equaled 50 (cap), probably got mod'd down as overrated so you lost a point to 49, then mod'd up to 50 again and then down to 49 with the last overrated. I love when I had +5 and was already capped at 50 before that and some dickfuck trollers came along with mod points and mod'd me down to -1 so I lost 6 karma!!!! FUCK YOU ASSHOLES!

    wind walker you are a known troll, why should the editors publish anything from you. if i were them i would have rejected it too, call it "troll profiling", it may not be constitutional but it is necessary in the post-goatsex environment. i think what you need to do is get rid of this account and start from scratch with a new image that does not carry the baggage you have gathered with your trollist ways.
