...doubts there's a demand for human cloning. On its website, Clonaid estimates it will charge $200,000 for its reproductive service, but Boisselier insisted to TIME that so far she has not charged the first guinea pigs.

...Pern serves food that's in season: fish in the summer and game birds and venison in the winter. And like publicans of old, he sources his produce locally. The village and its environs provide an ample supply of partridge, pheasant and grouse, as well as quail, duck and guinea-fowl eggs - and no fewer than three types of honey.

And not to forget the drink, Pern tempts customers with homemade rhubarb...
