Although there are several possible benign explanations for the image -- such as a barely perceptable jiggle of the camera as it took the time exposure -- NASA's zeal to examine the photo demonstrates the lengths at which the agency is going to tap the resources of ordinary Americans in solving the puzzle.

] Clone High bravely tackles challenging teen issues, such ] as sleep deprivation, catching ADD from toilet seats, the ] evils of litter, and having the guy you like not like you ] back the same way you like him. This is pretty whacky. Evil government scientists clone famous figures from world history. We find them as high school personality archtypes. Its strange and funny. Good break from predictable TV. There is a robot that says "bling bling" and a number that lies. Thats really all you need to know. [I definitly recommend this show as well. At first I was skeptical, but its pretty rad:) -Nano] Clone High |
