And you don't think our GLO websites are biased?
If you were doing a research paper on the negative impact of Greek Life at a University, and cited www.insertyourGLO.org as your source, you might come to the conclusion that Greek Life has no negative impact. You'd probably also fail whatever class you were researching for.

Barbaro is a miracle sent from God. I think we should clone him so we could create 90,000 Barbaros.

Barbaro is the horse that won the Kentucky Derby and was a heavy favorite for the Triple Crown. However, in the Preakness, Barbaro broke his leg (foot?) and almost had to be euthanized at the track. He's recovered, and has been the subject of a whole lot of media coverage following the accident.
It was scary to watch when it happened, but there has been a bit of obsession in some corners with the story.

Back to cloning....I was under the impression (albeit, possibly mistakenly) that cloning would be beneficial to the dairy/meat industry b/c they could genetically engineer the perfect dairy or beef cow and then clone it to maximize profits. So for example, Bessy (Super Cow), produces the maximum amount of milk ever seen from a cow and all the Bessy clones will now produce the same amazing amount of milk. It theoretically would take the "guesswork" out of breeding. Right? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Personally, I will laugh the day I see "Clone-free" on pints of Ben & Jerrys. It sounds so sci-fi.

OH MAN. For a start, here's his Myspace. You can rest easy that all information provided there is accurate, as this is not a biased .org website.

I agree. But we can't eat them because the meat will make us mutate.

Oh, that Barbaro.
I wasn't thinking horses...duh!
I thought he might have been some kind of cartoon character...
Or a Doc on Grey's Anatomy.
(the Elmer's Glue pop up on the Myspace page is funny)

I guess I can see the benefit. However, that's assuming that milk production is a genetic, not an environmental/circumstantial thing. Not trying to TMI, but I produced HUGE amounts of milk when I had my first baby, but with this one, I've been just barely producing enough.

That's where rBGH comes in. This hormone, given to cows, allows them to produce a lot of milk. The hormone doesn't show up in the milk and it's safe to cows.

HAHA. That's totally TMI but I see your point. I think it could also be used for beef cattle so that they can clone the cattle that produce the best beef. It makes sense to me, but I'd like to know the effects it has on humans before consuming it.
