I saw this story about monkeys being cloned on Drudge, but he had a photo of Mueller.

but ever since Dolly the sheep became the first cloned mammal in 1996, the list has had a conspicuous hole: primates. Now that hole has been filled. Scientists in China reported on Wednesday in Cell that they had cloned two healthy long-tailed macaque monkeys

Some science reporter!

Monkeys are not primates.

Anything with a tail is not a primate.

Maybe Chinese communists seek to create a clone army, obedient and devoid of critical thinking.

[Red Badger]

You are thinking ‘APES’. Monkeys are not APES........

[Red Badger]

An easy mistake.............

[katana]

Monkey’s are part of the Primate order, tail or no tail. Same as us.

Beat me to it.

Great minds think alike.

Grow real life Clone Troopers.

“Maybe Chinese communists seek to create a clone army, obedient and devoid of critical thinking.”

American education has already accomplished that with multitudes.

[antidemoncrat]

I think the Democrats have already done that.

Before you know those damn dirty apes will be running the place...

[RealVirginia]

We won’t ever know if a human has already been cloned. We are kept in the dark about everything.

You know those bastards have been secretly attempting to clone humans 4 years.

[Vaquero]

Monkeys are primates. From lemurs to gorillas to humans …primates.

I was going to say something but I’m afraid it will come across as racist even though it isn’t.
