They're cloning a woolly mammoth!

Beginning of The End.

How weird would it be to be that clone? Like, a whole new species develops, but similar enough to us to be interested in cloning long dead species, I guess, and your DNA is the shit that gets cloned. Not that you'd be you. But clone you would be the only you-like thing in all the world. I'm sure there's a really obvious story about just such a scenario I'm not thinking of at the moment.

Still, I'd feel a little bad for the cloned mammoth. Unless they cloned him or her a buddy. And, I guess, for that mammoth, being unique would be normal. Not like it would know any other way or have any way of knowing that there was another way. Unlike our human clone above, who could learn history. But I guess even the human clone wouldn't know any different from its own existence. It could just imagine.

Wow. End of stream of consciousness. I'll try to watch that.

Oh, David, I was waiting for you to answer msbelle's 80s model question from the weekend.

I missed it! What was it?

The locals I know use MLKy Way

I read that as "Milky Way".

Ha, Amy - so did I.

Me, too.

I read that as "Milky Way".

That is how people refer to it.

"Take Milky Way to Ashby and turn up to Telegraph..."

You can use the donate button to raise money for a sick cat, but not poor people.

What does this even mean?

The actual issue seems to be that a "for-profit" company is collecting for "charity" not an individual or a non-profit, but they sure don't actually say that in their rules nor are they explaining it well.

Paypal issues a statement.

That response speaks to what I would have assumed was their problem -- if you think you're making a tax-deductible donation or not.

PS: I wonder if we should be doing anything different with the buffistas account. Maybe give me a "gift" in the future?
