Cancer-Sniffing Dog to Be Cloned

Quote:

There's a great passage from Heinlein's "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress":

Quote:

“Are two types of jokes. One sort goes on being funny forever. Other sort is funny once. Second time it’s dull. This joke is second sort. Use it once, you’re a wit. Use twice, you’re a halfwit.”

“Geometrical progression?”

“Or worse. Just remember this. Don’t repeat, nor any variation. Won’t be funny.”

Clone threads are the second sort.
