In reply to So It Begins (soitbegins). My first reaction was "by generalization from catgirls, that sounds adorable" >.>

In reply to Johnn Reynolds (sleepyjohn).

Nonsense. Turning a human into a cat would be an uplift. Turning a gerbil into a human is just evolution gone sideways, nyao.

I seem to recall the first cat clone had a different coat colour to its progenitor.

Many characteristics of living things are determined by non-genetic factors. Identical human twins have different fingerprints, for example. Cat coat colors are genetically determined, but the patterns aren't.

(TUNE: "Twenty-Five Or -Six To Four", Chicago)

Just before the break of dawn,
Dave inquires where Zeta's gone ...
Grabbed a bus and rode away!
Where she's headed, didn't say!
Dave asks why this thing she'd do ...
Three asks Ninety-four-ten, too!

Artie wonders how, these guys,
Dave with ease identifies!
He can tell without a doubt
Which is which! It freaks them out!
"How does he know which one's me?"
Ninety-four-ten asks of Three!

I see no problem with robots being identical, but they proved that cloned people will probably not look identical. I think it ws the same scientists that made Dolly the Sheep, they made something like a dozen cloned cows and no two of them looked alike even though they have the exact same genetic material, at least as 'same' as modern geneticists can make it.

So obviously it's a super power and Dave is confirmed (yet again) as a member of the fraternity of mad scientists.

This is definitely the sort of punchline which makes the reader do a double take.
