Okay so this is a bit off topic...
For those of you who remember way back to the confusion over whether Rael
was the Rael who founded the Raelian religion, in addition to
Habanero-Chutney Twister competitions, here's an update on that (or our)
Rael.
Confused? Me too.
Blatantly copied from the the mini-AIR (Annals of Irreproducible Results)

JESUS WAS A CLONE
Investigator Andrew Walters and others kindly brought to our
attention a remarkable Las-Vegas-based firm called CloneAid, which
offers a service called ClonaPet. See http://www.clonaid.com for
details.
Founded by a gentleman (or, perhaps more accurately, an
entity) named Rael, who is head of the Raelian religion, which is
based in Montreal, and which discovered that aliens from outer
space brought DNA to the earth, and which also made the
breakthrough discovery that "Jesus was a clone," this remarkable
organization is offering to fund anyone who will seriously engage
in human cloning. CloneAid has publicly offered funding to renowned
cloning pioneer Richard Seed of Chicago.
mini-AIR has been in contact with Dr. Seed, who appears to
be proceeding independently, and who recently announced that he
will begin his operations by cloning himself.
