    <<On January 3, during the final, furious effort to sequence those 3.1
    billion units of DNA, a federal court in Lower Manhattan handed down a
    ruling that by some bizarre twist could serve as precedent for a
    third-millennium Dred Scott decision. Judge Judith Barzilay of the U.S.
    Court of International Trade decreed that intelligent characters with
    "extraordinary and unnatural powers," beings with "tentacles, claws,
    wings, or robotic limbs," "highly exaggerated muscle tone," or
    "exaggerated troll-like features," are "nonhuman creatures." Really. >>

    Yes, and X-Men 2 opens just in time on May 3rd! We shall invent races of Gods
    and Monsters sayeth Dr. Polidorious! Ones that like a cold beer, or a
    flavored ice tea, now and then.
