They got better at making us. For one, they now stick to women of childbearing age. The days of culling a herd of dudes who found themselves seven months along after a guys’ night out are gone. Even then, the incubated specimens were always a little off—not cow’s head off—but shit like not having any joints (starfishes) or having way too many (what-the-fucks). Lots of stillborns with molars in their knees and toenails where their eyes should be.
