Send in the Clones, there has to be Clones
Clonaid, the self described first human cloning company, has announced that the first human clones will be born this December. The company states they started out with 10 of which 5 were aborted and 5 are healthy and doing fine. No word on the legitimacy of the claim yet. Clonaid was founded by Rael whom you may know is leader of the Raelian Movement, a quais religious cult. The Raelians believe that aliens from another world created life on earth using DNA samples from themselves not unlike cloning. The leader Rael was a french journalist minding his own business when on December 13th, 1973, he was contacted by a being from another world who told him the "truth" about our origins and to set up an embassy here on earth for when the aliens eventually come-a-calling. They now boast over 55,000 members worldwide.
Ah, a bunch of lunatics you may say. Well, perhaps it's better to believe that Joseph Smith meet an angel and he gave him gold plates with the word of god on them. Or that a man proclaiming to be the son of the one and only god was born over 2000 years ago. But of course these things are true while a man claiming to meet aliens is completely unbelievable. I hope the irony isn't lost.
