Finished cloning a wooly mammoth, Scientist Hamzter wiped his paws. "Okay, give 'im the juice."

    Assistant Space Hamzter threw the Frankie switch. Electricity buzzed. The mammoth shook, bellowed, and got up. With an unsteady pace the huge beast ambled across the lab, walked through the wall, leaving a large hole and a mess of bricks.

    The Hamzters gathered outside the lab cheered.

    The wooly mammoth staggered and fell flat on the ground.

    "Ooh," the Hamzters chorused.

    Medical Hamzter put a stethoscope on the animal. "Heart failure," he announced.

    "Umm," Scientist Hamzter said. "Ten thousand years without exercise causes inactive genes."

    Gourmet Hamzter said, "Let's have a barbecue."

    "Yums," the Hamzters chorused.

    Scientist Hamzter immediately organized a working group to build an adequate barbie. Gourmet Hamzter with help of several assistants splattered peanut butter on the carcass.

    It didn't take long for the ingenious working group to build a giant barbecue. Everyone pitched in to toss the mammoth on top.

    Scientist Hamzter said. "Okay give 'im the juice."

    The giant barbecue buzzed. The air filled with the smell of singed wool and burnt peanut butter.

    "Aaah," drooling Hamzters exclaimed.

    Chief Hamzter yelled, "I want it medium rare."

    "This is rare--the only cloned specimen in existence," Scientist Hamzter said. He then turned to his assistant. "Give 'im more juice."

    The assistant turned the rheostat to max power.

    Like champagne corks, circuit breakers popped from the direction of Cleveland.

    "Power failure," Assistant Hamzter announced.

    "Call the guy at Homeland Security. Tell him it's an emergency."

    "Ooh," the Hamzters chorused as the sizzle stopped.

    Fifteen minutes later, a USAF fighter-bomber leased to Homeland Security dove out of the sun and dropped a napalm bomb.

    Salivating Hamzters watched the mammoth cook.

    Five minutes later, it was done to perfection.

    Thanks to Homeland Security readiness, the Space Hamzters were able to have a rare dinner during the great blackout of 14 August 2003.
