Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

A minimizer!?!!!! blasphemy!

It doesn't minimize them so much as just smooths them out. I've never had such an awesome bra, seriously.

SKorea trains cloned drug-sniffing dogs

INCHEON, South Korea (AP) -- The country that created the world's first cloned canine plans to put duplicated dogs on patrol to sniff out drugs and explosives.

The Korean Customs Service unveiled Thursday seven cloned Labrador retrievers being trained near Incheon International Airport, west of Seoul. The dogs were born five to six months ago after being separately cloned from a skilled drug-sniffing canine in active service.

Due to the difficulties in finding dogs who are up to snuff for the critical jobs, officials said using clones could help reduce costs.

The cloning work was conducted by a team of Seoul National University scientists who in 2005 successfully created the world's first known dog clone, an Afghan hound named Snuppy.

The team is led by Professor Lee Byeong-chun, who was a key aide to disgraced scientist Hwang Woo-suk. Hwang's purported breakthroughs in stem cell research were revealed as false, but independent tests proved the team's dog cloning was genuine.

A minimizer works great when a button-down shirt fits perfectly *except* that the buttons across the bosom gap. Going up a size would just leave you wearing a baggy, unflattering shirt. Hence the minimizer.

Interesting news. But at this juncture, doesn't cloning get you an animal whose life expectancy ends about the same time as the original?

Is this about the minimizer? Gappy buttons are no one's friend.
