...Since Briggs and King's discovery, a veritable Noah's Ark of clones has been created, ranging from fish in 1963 to horses in 2003.

Big boys don’t roll in go-karts. Smiff can dream all he wants that he’ll pull up to his junior prom in a Maserati, but it’s not happening. Smiff is a 13-year-old wannabe and, while he?...
