DEA casually leave 24 y/o UCSD student in cell for 5 days to drink own urine

Because clones are genetically identical to their donors, so they're the same sex.

D'oh. Good point

Now my biology lessons are failing me, but to clone a woman as a man, could you not simply (given technology) cut off one leg of the XX chromosomes to get an XY?

Or does that not work?

And can you do the reverse by copying the leg of the Y to make a man's XY into XX? (I assume if the first is not possible this one won't be either)

Something in me says these might be really dumb questions, but I really can't remember how that shit worked again. Ask me something about computer programming!

Are you any good with iPad's?  I'm still trying to figure out how to make parts of mine work the way I want them to.  Apparently cursing at them doesn't help.

This made me laugh.
Imagine X as being a car and Y as being a bike.
duct-taping extra parts to a bike does not make a car.

You could just copy a man's X twice and throw the Y away, that should work.

Hey cool, that's a first: A form of reproduction available to men but not women They may be able to grow babies in them, but we can clone ourselves into a different sex (theoretically) (and you'd still need a womb to grow the clone-baby in, DAMNIT)

It's possible to manipulate genes so that the clone-based offspring is a different sex, but then it ceases to be a clone and becomes an asexually-reproduced offspring.

Psssht, just give the marketing department a good budget and that distinction becomes irrelevant.

Depends on the parts, and how much duct tape you use.

You're not REALLY a hipster unless your tall bike has an Edsel's engine duct taped behind the seat.  Obviously, you have to put a milk crate on top of the engine, though.

The latter may be due to the WaPo disallowing their pages to be archived by external sources, I would hazard to guess. But yeah... funny how that happens, yeah?

We need some kind of gif emote of a guy trying to stuff a cat back in a bag.
