Quake 'Clone' Created in Wyoming


Quake FolderBIG HORN COUNTY, WY - Residents are stunned by news of a successfully cloned copy of id Software's Quake, which was accidentally discovered by local "gizmo-whiz" Emmett Brown.

"It was amazing," remarked Brown. "There I was, just moving that soap bar around, when I accidentally pushed hard on the front part. Next thing I knew the computer began making weird noises and out popped another Quake folder!"

Upon further examination, the copy appears to be an exact replica of the original Quake, with no discernable difference from its "parent." Citizens of Wyoming are both awed and shocked that such an accurate duplication could happen in the natural universe.

"This changes our entire perspective on things," said Mayor Daryl Emerson. "What if this 'copying' procedure can work with other types of files? Imagine having duplicates of reports and documents, 'backups,' if you will. The possibilities are mind-boggling!"

Not everyone is pleased by the news, however. Despite its great potential, 'copying' is meeting great opposition from the local church:

"Sacrelige!" exclaimed Father George McFarlin. "God never intended to have exact duplicates of files! Next thing you know they'll find a way to replicate paper documents!"

"Residents have no need to fear," assured Mayor Emerson. "We will make sure that any research on 'copying' will be conducted under the strictest security measures, which should be relatively easy considering there is only one computer in the entire state."
