The Great Mule Cloning
At last the first major achievement of cloning - mules ties for first place in Nevada race. Well, not every scientific advance is earth-shattering I guess. - Art Caplancontribute a comment

No, the cloned mules LOST: "Idaho Gem, the world's first equine clone, finished third, while Idaho Star wound up seventh in an eight-way race ..."

This story is driving me nuts. The original article said that they came in first and second in the race, and the title was something that implied they came in so close to one another because they were clones. I kept the article open on my desktop for a few days, and when I refreshed it, the entire article had changed - new title, no longer conjuring images of performance equality in clones, and new data.
I suspect when it was linked here initially, it was a link to the original, clone-scare article rather than this rather boring one about them losing a race. CNN.com drives me nuts when they do this.
