However, his mum was too busy to pick him up in a minute.He tried to stop crying and walked outside to wait on the chair in front of the shop. This was too much for the young assistant.

They have asked: Can weclone ourselves?Tony: It seems interesting. But do you think it possible to do that?Lana: No, impossible!
