I once saw a photograph in a science publication of a cat that had been cloned from another cat. The second cat looked quite different. The pub. said that was to be expected and that most people don't understand cloning. Me among them.

I don't believe the story about the farmer and the bull. It's just too pat.

I used to have a coworker that came from a long line of Kansas farmers. His family told a story of an forebear who had a bull. Every day the farmer went out and fed the bull. One day, after this went on for 17 years, the bull suddenly attacked him and killed him.

That was the story, anyhow.

With tales like this in circulation, perhaps quite true, rural people are bound to wonder if it's worth it to clone even a 'gentle' bull. Maybe if somebody does it for free...
