Washington's hair found in old book.

A shabby, leather-bound almanac from 1793 sat long forgotten on a shelf at Union College’s library in upstate Schenectady — until an *archivist surveying some of the school’s collections plucked it from obscurity in December.

But there was something else hidden away inside an envelope tucked between the book’s pages: a lock of hair belonging to George Washington.

He was a redhead growing up and powdered his hair white, a fashionable color in the 18th century.

Interesting. Didn't know GW was a redhead. Boys of VA anyone? Probably not since we can't get DNA from a strand of hair without the follicle.

Its a shame you can't do the Jurassic Park thing and genetically engineer him back to life so he can run against Trump in 2020.

Since the science isn't there yet, we'll have to use old-fashioned necromancy instead! Undead Washington 2020! "Grrrraaaaaaaaah!" At least we know with his cabinet he'll pick only the brightest in their fields, for the sake of their big juicy brains.

His vice president can be other notable deceased redhead, Lucille Ball! "Grrraaaaaaah, Ethel!" If there's ever a scandal, Vice President Ball will have some 'splainin' to do!

Resurrected Washington can run against Trump using a platform of no gun laws whatsoever. Washington: If you elect me I will delete all gun laws.

It was a 1793 almanac. If we assume Washingclone has his memories intact, I suspect the Whiskey Rebellion would have made him more sympathetic to gun control.

Well, sure. But in those days, everyone had to have a few pounds of slaves, at least. To be respectable, that is.

How ya gonna pick that cotton and tote that bale? They don't get picked and toted by themselves!

As far as the discovery goes, I say, "hair today, gone tomorrow!"

No, there was more than one. If you really insist on derailing this thread to make it about slavery instead of hair, then we could also talk about slavery issues in your country. But let's stick to the red hairs found in the book instead eh?

My apologies

It was just a bad joke

We didn't have any slavery btw

But only because we haven't been round that long

That's actually how they created Trump: they tried to clone Washington and like in Jurassic Park, filled in the gaps with frog DNA.

I laughed.

Side note, Washington was between 6 and 6'-3" and renowned for his great strength and athetcism. Re-incarnated and fed a modern diet, he'd definitely go for the NFL before politics.

I think you meant log DNA there. Based on multiple observations.

Slavery in New Zealand?

 

[Ranb]

What about slavery in NZ?

 

[dann]

This? (Wikipedia)
European settlers don't seem to have enslaved indigenous New Zealanders or imported slaves.

I'm guessing he is talking about Maori Iwi taking tribal war prisoners.

Which was mostly pre-NZ being descovered

Which is fine, but by his logic the US is a country known for it's cannibalism
