- meruru, on 04/30/2008, -1/+17Perhaps it was cloned
- adamriggins, on 04/30/2008, -0/+12EPIC FOAL
- Lasereth, on 04/30/2008, -1/+10This article is so foal of shi....ahh nevermind that joke was dead in the water.
- slapded, on 04/30/2008, -0/+7foal shizzle my nizzle
- HydrogenOxide, on 04/30/2008, -1/+8I swear to god this was on the front page yesterday
- Spuy767, on 04/30/2008, -1/+7Not big into genetics eh?
- duke, on 04/30/2008, -2/+8WTH is a dictionary?
- RyomaNagare, on 04/30/2008, -1/+5But does this cloned horse have a soul?
/sarcasm - unadigger, on 04/30/2008, -0/+4imagine 2 cloned mares and 2 cloned studs, both pairs have a foal, would both foals be the same?
- livestradamus, on 04/30/2008, -1/+5A foal is a horse that is one year old or younger.
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Godlike, on 04/30/2008, -0/+3You can't foal me!
- Schweppes7T4, on 04/30/2008, -0/+3you're thinking of a fawn, not a foal
- Godlike, on 04/30/2008, -3/+6No, horse.
- Godlike, on 04/30/2008, -0/+3Go foalk yourself.
- Godlike, on 04/30/2008, -0/+3A pony is a small horse with a specific conformation and temperament. There are many different breeds of ponies. Compared to horses, ponies often exhibit thicker manes, tails and overall coat, as well as proportionally shorter legs, wider barrels, heavier bone, thicker necks, and shorter heads with broader foreheads. Learn to use google.
- Spuy767, on 04/30/2008, -0/+2You needn't swear. It was.
- inactive, on 04/30/2008, -0/+2There are a lot of reasons you cant clone a human. You will have to kill something like 300 to 500 deformed babies to get one viable one is the primary reason.
- Godlike, on 04/30/2008, -1/+3Will it have a foal as well?
- Myonosken, on 04/30/2008, -3/+5Oh dear.
- prochoice1, on 04/30/2008, -1/+3well now all we have to do is convince that god fearing idiot in the white house that stem cell reseacrh isnt the devils work
- inactive, on 04/30/2008, -1/+3No ponies are a breed of small horse
- Godlike, on 04/30/2008, -0/+2foal shizzle!
- liah, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1Stallions (uncastrated male horses) are often volatile and horrible to work with. They get quite violent-- though not all are that way. It's just a safety measure; if the horse is going to be in sport and around many people and horses, they don't want a ticking time bomb, so they castrate them.
- robweber, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1I don't care if society finds it acceptable, I'd still be up for it. I also realize there are some big scientific problems with the cloning procedures right now, I'm just saying we should get rid of the stigma attached to cloning humans and go for it. We're biological organisms just like all the animals we're cloning now, what's stopping us is our concept of 'ethics' which quite frankly stops us from doing a lot of cool stuff.
- relic180, on 04/30/2008, -1/+2Maybe they already have, and the real you is locked in a tiny room underground.
- emehrkay, on 04/30/2008, -3/+4Baby horses arent ponies?
- rasmasyean, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1Normaly clones have age related problems because they put the adult genes into the egg. If the clone survives to mate and it reproduces normally, the "aged" genes "reset" in the offspring. That's the good organism. It's no longer a true clone, but it carries some of the traits across. In a human it would take too long. Plus, that's not really an "acceptable" procedure.
- HanSolo69, on 04/30/2008, -1/+2I'll believe a Daily Mail story the day a mule foals!
- LordVance, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1Imagine the exact same mare having sex with the exact same stud twice, having two foals; would they both be the same?
Hint: there's a reason brothers and sisters =/= identical twins - ataylor32, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1May I ask what's up with your Digg account? You've made 9 comments. 5 of which were made on 8/29/2006 and 4 were made in the last 24 hours. All of them are weird. The one thing you've submitted was marked as spam
- Godlike, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1he edited out from under me his original comment (as it loaded on my page) did not contain that though it was similar
- Godlike, on 05/02/2008, -0/+1They could clone one and do it...
- j3ff86, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1The more you know ===۞
- inactive, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1Lets hope it doesn't get out as it could damage the horse species.
- KineticShampoo, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1Clone the fish, end world hunger.
- blitzkriegpunk, on 04/30/2008, -1/+1Wow, two foals from cloned horses in 2 days!!!
oh... nm. - Samjay23, on 04/30/2008, -0/+0If they want the offspring of a champion race horse, why do they castrate them in the first place? Am I missing something here?
- jasz, on 04/30/2008, -2/+2I didn't see it yesterday... sucka
- rasmasyean, on 05/01/2008, -0/+0It was in Offbeat. Wrond place for it.
- HydrogenOxide, on 04/30/2008, -2/+2http://digg.com/pets_animals/World_First_Cloned_Ho ...
- robweber, on 04/30/2008, -2/+2I was unaware there even was a cloned horse. I think if we can clone complex mammals like horses there is no reason why we couldn't clone a person. I'd volunteer to let them clone me, no problem.
- rasmasyean, on 05/01/2008, -0/+0I thought it was for aerodynamics.
- rasmasyean, on 05/01/2008, -0/+0No, but they would do that to prize horses for better chances of getting the desired trait in the foal(s) by "luck". The clones suffer age related diseases normally because they used "aged" genes to make them. But when they have babies, the genes "reset".
- Myonosken, on 04/30/2008, -1/+1Um no given which genes they would receive from each would be different.
- Jwoey, on 04/30/2008, -2/+1say it again!
- insanebrain, on 04/30/2008, -2/+1dugg yesterday, buried today.
