Jeffrey: Right. Katie Couric was here and we were talking about... I think we should, I want to start cloning things, me. And with certain people, Prince Andrew got upset because he was all, "If it had a conscience, could you kill it for spare parts." And I said, "I'll make it without a head, would that make you feel better?" And Katie Couric, I thought, was going to start to vomit.

Richard: That they may evolve with a head or arms or feet, so it couldn't get up and walk away.

with Lagrange, no mention is made of it in any of the

reputable biographies of Lavoisier (1-3). On 8 May

1794 Lavoisier, his father-in-law, and most of the other

members of the Ferme were taken to the Place de la

Revolution where they were rapidly guillotined, their

heads falling into a common sack and their torsos being

tossed into a wagon. After the execution, their remains

were carted away and buried in an unmarked

mass grave. Lagrange and a small group of other scientists

were present at the execution but were standing at

a distance in one corner of the square, separated from

the guillotine by a line of gendarmes. To have actually

performed the experiment, Lagrange would have had

to of been at the base of the guillotine examining each

head as it fell into the sack. This “urban myth” apparently

started with a special on the guillotine that aired

on the Discovery Channel several years ago - a source

not exactly known for either its reliability or skepticism.

Indeed, it even became the subject of a popular

syndicated newspaper question-answer column (4).
