Hello genetic engineers!<\/b> It seems like every week I read about how you guys invented some crazy new type of animal. But it’s never anything useful like a rapping monkey, it’s inevitably some dumb thing like a thirty pound squirrel or a lactating seahorse. It’s pretty obvious that you guys are just making stuff up as you go along instead of fulfilling specific needs.<\/p>\n
So here you go! This weekend I collected, like, three Hefty-bag’s worth of apples that had fallen from the huge apple tree in my back yard. It was a total drag, because the apples were on the ground, and it took forever to get them all, and now my back is killing me. So here’s what I need. I need an appleless apple tree. You got that? No, don’t just say “yeah,” write it down. Appleless apple tree. If you don’t write it down you are just going to forget, and then later you’ll try to remember and probably get it all wrong and make an appleful<\/i> apple tree or something. And Lord knows I don’t need an appleful apple tree — I already got one of those, that’s the problem.<\/p>\n
Once you’ve created it, send it to<\/p>\n

\n1467 Park –<\/p><\/blockquote>\nAhhhhh, you know what? Never mind. I’m not going to give you my address. At that big Seattle WTO boondoggle a few years back, there were some hippies who were against genetic engineering, and they dressed up like giant ears of corn with fangs. And I’m afraid that if I gave you my address you’d just carelessly leave it laying around where a giant fanged ear of corn could find it, and I totally<\/i> don’t need that right now. So here’s what we’ll do: when you’ve invented the appleless apple tree, drop me an email and we’ll arrange a place to meet.<\/p>\n
I would also like a glo-in-the-dark pony and a dog that can play basketball. Thanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
