Dolly the sheep clone was created by Scottish scientists who named her after Dolly Parton. Did they pick that name because they found both equally hot?

Or did they actually think they had successfully cloned Dolly Parton?

Careful with that axe, Ewelene

Little-known fact, actually, it's the other way around. Dolly Parton was named after the sheep "dolly" because she resembled the sheep as a kid in the countryside. The scientific community came together and travelled back in time through secret time-travelling machines hidden in CERN, as the balance of the cosmos depended on this decision.

Well, now you know

Maybe because they believe that Dolly the sheep would somehow be a blessing to society like Dolly Parton will always be!

I think the actual reason is because the original donor cells came from a mammary gland

of a Scottish person, or maybe Welsh.

The scientists were not surprised. Like they guy was from Dumfries. I bet he was filled with ram milk.

They actually attempted to splice the genes of the ewe and Ms. Parton. However the results were a bit too sheepish and refused to show herself.

Oh fuck! There might be another Dolly Parton out there. Maybe two or three.

[u/teedyay]

It’s just cos they’re both blonde

[u/flagrantstickfoul]

[u/PoniardBlade]

I mean, do you blame them if they did?

[u/fishsticks40]

They actually cloned the sheep to have a huge rack.
