Taxing Times
Note the exemptions on the tax return below. Hey, imagine how handy a clone would be for those of us dissertating. Family-gradwork balance would be forever restored! Twice the analyses in half the time! No more late library books!
Nah. Come to think of it, the availability of clones would likely only up the ante of what is expected of graduate students. First job/post doc interview: "Well, Dr. Perry, I noticed you only have 28 peer reviewed publications...Most of our applicants with clones manage at least 34..."
Oh well. The future is now. Good luck with your taxes! (Tax info from graduate students from the IRS: http://www.irs.gov/individuals/students/index.html)
