Cancer-Sniffing Dog to Be Cloned
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.[/QUOTE]

Do not taunt the Keeper of All That is Funny. There are grave repercussions.

you're saying that only the first clone thread is funny? or that clone threads were only funny once?

The first clone thread was started by Adam. And it was good. After a little ribbing, Eve tried her hand at the clone thread. And it was kind of good. Once Cain and Abel got in on it, it was just pissing everyone off, all, um, 6 of them? And it was not good.
