Cancer-Sniffing Dog to Be Cloned
Clone threads are the second sort.[/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.”
