South Korean Scientists Clone Dog
Ebon Praetor writes "According to the BBC and Reuters, South Korean scientists have created the world's first cloned dog, an Afghan hound. The research purpose of the research is ostensibly to produce research animals and not for commercial purposes. Dogs are especially difficult to clone, but the scientists were able to extract DNA from a skin cell, inject it into an egg, and implant the egg into a surrogate mother."
Dammit where is the half dog half alligator? This whole cloning regular animals thing is getting boring.
In Korea only old people clone dogs.

dogs clone you!
"a frisky, healthy, normal, rambunctious puppy."
If you ignore the glowing red eyes, caustic drool, and an unearthly howl that makes babies cry and causes normal dogs who hear it to lose bowel control, chew through their leads, and leap in front of FedEx trucks.
...a Wolf cluster of these!

Wait, research has research purpose? When did this happen?
His stated goal was to create a new golf club to allow every blissful, well-fed citizen to achieve holes-in-one, even on tricky dog legs.

Dewey, what part of this looks like authorities should be involved?
"You can't teach an old dog new tricks" was easy to remember, and often true.
So, what is it now? You can now teach your new old dog new tricks? Or, you can only re-teach your new dog's tricks to the old dog? Do the old tricks come pre-installed, and how many new tricks can you stack on top?
Wait, you can't teach your old dog new tricks, but the new dog....

This reminds me of a weekend trip I took with the cub scouts a while back...
I mean, they were all cute little kids and they loved hiking and they'd get firewood all night long if you asked them to, it was just like having a team of little puppies with you that could actually DO things.
When that blizzard hit, though, we didn't have any problem at all with eating Fatty Joe. As a bonus, with his "diet" of non-stop candy bars and high blood sugar, the kid self-caramelized on the fire, and nobody really liked him anyway.
[ I mean, he was probably going to electrocute himself or get hit by lightening at the next jamboree, because God is pissed at the Scouts for kicking out the gays. ]
who needs to stay ontopic, really, when there's an awful joke to be made?

That's not as hard as cleaning out the rollers in the document feeder afterwards.

The scientists were reverse engineering the work of God. So as a lab joke they used a doG.
Just remember, pyroxide detonators only last one week. Maximum.
