She was created by biotechnicians, debated by theologians and finally put to sleep by veterinarians. Now Dolly the sheep has been stuffed by taxidermists and put on display before the public.
THE STUFFED REMAINS of Dolly � the first cloned adult mammal � were unveiled on Wednesday at the Edinburgh International Science Festival.
�She�s looking great,� said a spokeswoman for Edinburgh�s Royal Museum where she now stands. �She�s on all fours and her head is slightly tilted to one side.�
�She used to get a lot of human visitors,� she added. �And that�s the expression she always used to great them.�
Dolly�s birth in July 1996 was kept secret for months while her creators checked her lineage, but the eventual announcement, in February 1997, sent shockwaves around the world. Now cloning of farm animals has become almost routine.
Unlike her hardy mountain-dwelling cousins, Dolly � a breed called a Finn Dorset � was hand-fed and lived her life indoors until she was put down in February, aged six, after a severe chest infection.
The full result of her autopsy is expected later this week.
Dolly was made from a frozen cell taken from the mammary gland of her mother/twin who died several years before her birth. Creator Ian Wilmut said he named her after Dolly Parton, the American singer famous for her own mammaries.
While Dolly is best known for being an almost precise copy, she was in one way unique: she was the sole success of an experiment that tried to clone 276 sheep embryos.
The festival, which celebrates the 50th anniversary of the discovery of DNA, will be fully opened to the public from Friday.

OMG! Even in death that little hussy haunts mine and Joey's relationship. Last night, Joey was all like "Gypsy, I am going on a business trip this weekend. I need to fly out Friday morning." That lying sheeplovin' bastard. |

| nankerphelge |
Wow, I'm really sorry I brought it up gypsy.
I didn't mean to rub salt in the wounds.
Must be hell when Joey returns from his "business" trips, smelling of cheap perfume, and pulling wool fibers from between his teeth. |

My condolences go out to you, Nanky.
I know how the whole Dolly story has entrapped you.
In Dolly's honor, I shall play "Far Away Eyes"....
...omg, what a waste of great music for a fucking sheep!

Will they do that to Saddam Hussein?
Will there be enough left to stuff after the great American military has destroyed him in one of the greatest feats of war ever seen?
Will Joey still call it the next Vietnam? (Waaaa ha ha ha!!!)
Will I be forced to make sweet love to me, again, tonight?
So many questions.

Calm down, Maxy. I don't know how many times I have told you that it is OKAY to make sweet love to yourself. Why I just made sweet love to myself a couple of nights ago. I was awesome, if I do say so myself. |

Gypsy.....................Sheep Lie !
" Will Joey still call it the next Vietnam ? "
<------ Ah , yeah ........I believe putting the men into the country is easy , it's getting them out that is tough .
Remember Beirut in the 80's ???????? Enough said .
You raise an interesting point little fella .........Bob McNamara once said that even , " Jesus Christ can't control one of these things once they get started " .
Oh , and in the meantime , I see North Korea is now a major nuclear power -- Great job , we couldn't even cut a deal with them , now could we ????

I vote we save up and get Joey some mammary cells for some sheep of his own.
Then he can keep usin' em and Gypsy can go into a fit of rage and kill 'em in a healthy cycle.
"Shall I put on some 'Dirty Work?" she purred, and I stole the cells from her taxidermed teats away, Ronnie.

Oh that's right! Now that I think of it, there's still troops in Germany, Japan and Korea. Damn WWII was another Vietnam! Thank god for your keen insight into these matters!
"Oh , and in the meantime , I see North Korea is now a major nuclear power -- Great job"
Thank your buddies Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. Great job indeed.

" Thank Your Buddies Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter . Great job indeed . "
You make Joey say , Huh ?????????????????
That deal those two brokered kept the peace these past ten years .........................North Korea's army is five milion strong and they have powerful friends ( Chinese Army now at ten million strong ) .
Don't cry to me if they strike first ...........
Oh Hell , I promise you , eighteen months from now you will wrap your arms around the Democratic Party and embrace a " Nationalized Health Care System !
Hilary Clinton in '04 !

Hey, Herbie, coooooooooooooooooooool out. It was a typo, I meant "kill the sheep." Not that it makes any difference, since it was indeed a joke.

I dunno where your dope is. But when you find it, could you trade for a ciggie with the RonnieCake?
And if Hillary runs in '04, she'll just be another worthless no-name Democrat running for President.
"Shall I put on some CNN?" she purred, and I said "Current Democratic candidates include everyone and their mothers along with Larry King", Ronnie!

Nanky,
I've been seeing more and more sheep in Iraq on Fox News.
Those demure wooley cuddle monkey's feel safe enough to come out and bat their come hither eyelashes again.
Iraq (the 51st state) will be a good place to visit soon.
It's got a great climate and no man on sheep restrictions on the books yet. YET!
"Ali babba that wooley wooley mama, Ronnie baba!"
Ma-aa-aa-aa-aa-cky!

Sheep liberation was one of the Administration's key goals -- although they would never say so publicly!
Persian wool - mmmmmmmm! |

Sheep are cute , some are quite beautiful , and so very demure ............... not to mention that insouciant air of aristocracy and self confidence the all have .
Glasgow in the summer is precious as the sheep congregate on the edge of the cliffs .............ready and willing ...............and getting more and more MOIST !
" Why is that so important Joey ? " someone asked ;
Because the cloven hoofed bit##es PUSH BACK !!!!!
THAT is why ?
JACKY !!!!!!

They "PUSH BACK."
Those cloven-hoofed whores...I hate them.
Their eyes still can't compare with those of the llama. |
