What is a boffin?

It's a British word for ‘egghead”/"geek".

[melsec]

Boffin is British slang for a scientist/researcher/engineer/Egghead.

If we can really isolate this gene and give it to Democrats they may be able to grow a brain, finally!

"Mom, can I get the gene therapy that'll make me look just like Zaphod Beeblebrox? Please, please, please?"

Knew someone back in high school....

Me: Whatcha been up to?
Person: Growing another head.

Little did I know that such a thing would one day be possible!

“If we can really isolate this gene and give it to Democrats they may be able to grow a brain, finally!”

[Pontiac]

I would recommend this therapy to Al Gore but I don’t see two empty heads being any better than one.

[garyhope]

Somehow, I just knew there would be Biden/Obammy/Dimocraps jokes before I even opened the subject.

How could I have guessed?

Duplicated research

What’s an Aboobaker?
