A guy goes to a girl's house for the first time, and she shows him into the living room. She excuses herself to go to the kitchen to make them a few drinks, and as he's standing there alone, he notices a cute little vase on the mantel. He picks it up, and as he's looking at it, she walks back in.
He says "What's this?"
She says, "Oh, my father's ashes are in there."
He says, "Jeez...oooh....I..."
She says, "Yeah, he's too lazy to go to the kitchen to get an ashtray."
Human genes in Polly cloneIn 1997, the same Scottish scientists who produced Dolly the cloned sheep announced they had cloned a sheep with human genes. Polly and four other cloned lambs mark a milestone in the effort to alter the genetic make-up of animals. It is hoped that similar animals will eventually provide human drugs, milk and transplant organs as well as aiding medical research. PPL Therapeutics and the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh, produced the transgenic animal, which was born July 9.Image: Polly the lamb, who carries human genes, with her Scottish blackface surrogate mother.
