#1 The embryos have been created using DNA from a man and two women in lab tests.

I have tried that a couple times. I am sorry to say it was not like in the movies.

YES SIR

He makes them rough,
he makes them tough,
and this is why we say,
"WHAT'S GOOD FOR GENERAL BULLMOOSE, IS GOOD FOR THE USA".

#5 OOOOKAY, no one is old enough.
The phrase comes from "L'il Abner (Movie, parody of a parody)
The phrase is "General Bullmose Motors" (Parody of GM)
the trick here is that GM's president really said, "What's good for General Motors, is good for the USA"
General Bullmose is a cartoon of a Tycoon, having a secretary listed as "Private, and Very Personal secretary, Miss Apasionata Climax".

I guess L'il Abner is mostly forgotten. Too bad, prime sarcasm. Cutting edge snark.

Etc, Etc.
