Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Yeh I remembered that one of Dave Allan's, that was when a tenner was a tenner.
We haven't had any of the plastic notes yet Solo.
Is human genetic engineering going on in labs on the sly?
They’ve had the technology to do this for years now and they’re just itching to go, so far only strict laws have prevented them.
We all remember when they created Dolly the Sheep, then we had the two headed calf which caused an outcry and then everything went very quiet after that. This makes me suspicious, very suspicious.
Although there are very tight rules and regulations regarding procedures in this field I think there is a hive of activity going on behind closed doors, especially in the three most powerful countries, USA, China, and Russia.
Scientists have ways of getting their own way, usually under the guise of “National security”, arguing that the opposition could take the lead and be the first to create a “Super soldier” for example, one who knows no fear and has the strength of ten men. It’s all about the few controlling the many, as it’s always been, and any ideas in that line are always welcomed by the few.
I’d be willing to bet as I type that there are some made to order humans already walking around the planet, apprentice presidents and chairmen for multi national companies, humans with some emotions deliberately removed, fully mobile zombies who look normal and act normal up front but behind it all they have no conscience nor human compassion, and certainly no love for other humans.
Give another generation and these creatures will have sired a whole new tribe of power hungry monsters, greed is a powerful driver and who knows it might all go belly up and with a bit of luck they might just turn on each other.
I was sitting at the bar today talking to Conor the landlord about this, he also owns a big restaurant in town, and two more in his native Cavan, he was saying he thought is was a great idea, made to measure people, well he would wouldn’t he, he’s an arch capitalist from Cavan.
“The first batch of genetically engineered workers I’d order would be ten bow legged waitresses” says he.
“Why is that?” says I.
“Because they’d be much quicker serving the customers, they wouldn’t have to walk around the tables”
Miserable Git.
This is someone’s idea of how girls will look in the future. Seems the Peter Lorre/Marty Feldman look will be all the rage. "What do ya wanna make those eyes at me for..."
Actually the third picture from the left looks a lot like one of the girls in my local bookies, she never smiles but she’s ever so efficient and never makes a mistake. Wonder has she got bandy legs? I’ve never seen her outside the counter.
