Planned Obsolescence

Well. It's interesting to learn that I am obsolete.

Darn it.

Don't worry. We'll keep y'all around to mow the lawn and take out the garbage. ;)

The article said another group made eggs from stem cells. So whose baby do you want to have?

Obsolete? The guy who once claimed to use a Hefty bag as a condom?

Well, biologically males function is to provide genetic diversity. That's about it.

so does this mean that the next link in survival of the fittest would be the elimination of man?

Exactly!! Stem cells will NOT be helping my wife get Christmas decorations out of the attic today.

Job security.

Thank God for women who still like doing things the old-fashioned way. (Maybe the world of Gattacca isn't so far away after all. Here's to the invalids.)

Sort of reminds of one day I was riding a shuttle bus around the Chicago look area back in the late 1960s or so.

An advertisement up above one of the seats showed some newfangled computer circuitry, with the bold legend:

"WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WHEN THIS DEVICE LEARNS HOW TO DO YOUR JOB?"

The first thought that came to my mind was this:

"I'll let the fucking circuit board pay my taxes."
