I had a clone once. He was an affable, easy-going guy, in spite of his obvious physical repulsiveness. While I thought his impersonation of me was a tad exaggerated, most people thought he nailed it.
 
All was going well until the day that I imitated him. Copying a copy of yourself does not cause a rip in the fabric of space/time, but it leaves a scorch mark.
 
My prime self told me that he would not make the same mistake with his clone.  




Copies of copies aren't as sharp as originals

Yes, but after 6000+ yrs of "intelligent" human existence.... isn't that all we have to work with? The "originals" are looong gooone!

In that context, the idea sure does explain a lot!

Brad Pitt is an evolutionarily advanced animal.  I hope he freezes his head when he dies so future people can see how handsome he is.

To the OP, eph is copying me. 
 
Only he's more <fill in your adjective>.

I can't afford adjectives until next month.  I guess I'll just have to settle for a few expletives until then.
