Don Del Grande, [email] Notice there's a Simpsons rerun on 4/3, but the Futurama episode is new; who's complaining about the month-long break now?

Don Del Grande, [email] In the future, there will be so many "major" awards shows (this week: "The 38th Street Cafe Regulars Country Music Awards") that every other show is a rerun because they don't want to "waste" a new episode

OOPS - that should be 4/2 and 4/9.

Don Del Grande, [email] Unless maybe somebody really believes that "lost day in the Bible" stuff and is trying to make up for it...

FINALLY we'll get to meet Cubert!

Sweepings Due to my controversial views on a comic strip, I have removed my old signature. Until I come up with a new signature, this will take it's place.

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?

4/16 - The Deep South (2ACV12) A civilization of mermaids is created from an unlikely source: a caffeine leak from the Planet Express ship

Don Del Grande, [email] If clones can be developed and raised to adult age (and with adult intelligence) very quickly, could this explain why you don't see very many children on the show?

4/23 - Brannigan Begin Again (2ACV02) Zapp Brannigan is dismissed from his military post - and hired by Planet Express, where he manages to lead a mutiny against Leela

Don Del Grande, [email] Is Schrodinger's Kit-Kat Club dead or alive? That depends on who's there that night...
??  huh?

It's easier to understand than the original Schroedinger's-Cat deal, at least.
