Ladies, I truly apologize. It turns out the offer to be a surrogate baby-momma for a neanderthal’s little bouncing ball of joy was premature:
Harvard geneticist George M. Church
It turns out that a reported plan to clone a Neanderthal baby was lost in translation.
Harvard geneticist George M. Church was quoted in the Daily Mail as looking for an “adventurous woman” to serve as a surrogate for a “cloned cave baby.” The shocking headline spread quickly across the media with no small amount of help from major news aggregators like the Drudge Report.
But the Boston Herald dug a little deeper into the story, joining a long list of news outlets that contacted Church for an explanation.
Church told the Herald Monday night that the Daily Mail article was based on an interview he gave to the German-language magazine Der Spiegel and poorly translated comments he made about the possibility of one day cloning a Neanderthal.
Lost in translation? That poor excuse still works?
Aww… I was hoping that was real! (Not that I wanted the job – TRUST me!) Maybe he had a bad translator, maybe he was using Google translator – you know, sometimes a translation that is too literal comes off quite odd!
Haahvaad George looks like a cloned cave baby.
Lil C: You know, I was thinking that you could be the perfect person for this little experiment. Oh well.
Struan: Haha, true!
Looks like he has already done it, (but cloned a california baby instead; the shades are a give away)?

Aye.
Haha, never seen that movie, but a lot of Navy folks have. And I am subjected to quotes from it weekly. . .
