Well considering A Clone of My Own is 2ACV10 and How Hermes Requisitioned His Grove Back is 2ACV11 we may see Cubert next week and people will be confused. or maybe not. Well see.
Well, if he weren't 150 years old, he could sing the song, often attributed to Isaac Asimov, to the tune of "Home on the Range":
Oh give me a clone
Of my own flesh and bone
With the Y chromosome changed to X.
And when we're alone
Since the clone is my own
We'll be thinking of nothing but sex.
Clone, clone of my own!
With the Y chromosome changed to X,
Yes, when we're alone,
Since the clone is my own
We'll be thinking of nothing but sex.
Song written by the late Randall Garrett in tribute to the novel _Time Enough for Love_ by the late Robert Heinlein. 3000 miles away from the late Isaac Asimov's stomping grounds. Who often attributes it to Asimov? This person must be corrected, with a baseball bat if necessary.
I've seen it that way in filk books; furthermore, it was listed on mp3.com with the title "Asimov's Clone Song" (it's not there any more, but is still listed in Alta Vista). Some other sites do attribute the first verse and chorus to Garrett, but state that the rest of the song was written by Asimov. Is this true or false?
Well, my old NESFA Hymnal credits it entirely to Garrett aside from a couple of words between stanzas that are credited to Heinlein's first hearing the song performed.

This reminds me of a story I read in college (Ursula K. LeGuin, I think). One of the characters asked, "If you have sex with a clone of yourself, is that incest or masturbation?"
What about if you go back in time and have sex with an underage version of yourself? Is that incest, masturbation, pedophilia, or just really perverted?
