Academic integrity and the quest for habitable food
I have always wanted to embezzle government funds and fake scientific research but I have never had the opportunity, and am resentful because I have some really good ideas.
Disgraced Seoul superstar scientist Hwang Woo-suk was at one point the darling of the South Korean media in a way that eggheads, aside from Einstein, have never enjoyed here.
It all began to unravel when his findings on stem-cell research were found to have been faked.
Now he says that he did not misuse government funds and that he had actually tried several times to clone a wooly mammoth.
This piqued my interest because I, too, have been experimenting with cloning, re-animating dead tissue, and creating a personal army out of odds and ends I find around the house (but mostly graveyards).
Particularly my love of fried clams has inspired my search to combine the DNA of a Block Island Quahog and the extinct mammoth to create the Clammoth, a five-ton meal that is not only the dinner but the place where the dinner is served.
I believe that the Habitatomeal is the next evolution in dining. Witness my early experiments in eating my way out of a beached whale that I also used as an apartment (1981) as well as the studio tauntaun I lived in/ate during my semester on Ice Planet Hoth.
