Tall patrician-looking fellow with 5 stars: Jocko, I'd like you to meet the Spruance twins.
RADM "Jocko" Clark: <extends hand and shakes both right hands of the twins> Well, well, identical then?
Twins: <quizzically look at each other and then "A" speaks> No, he has a substitution of Leucine for Valine at position 512 of the FOXP2 gene and the lucky bastard is murder at crossword puzzles...they both laugh>
<after a pause Clark looks at the patrician-looking guy> I don't get it.
Tall patrician-looking fellow with 5 stars: It's the language gene, Jocko. They are geniuses. They are clones Jocko...genetic copies...you see, the original Raymond Spruance developed the most God-awful neurological tic. The man was a naval genius but he would stand in the middle of a presentation and start yelling about excrement and other bodily fluids. Very distracting. I could hardly get through the meeting agenda. So I had BuOrd make copies of him and they took out that atrocious potty mouth gene.
RADM "Jocko" Clark: Copies? Of a human being?
Tall patrician-looking fellow with 5 stars: Oh yes. There is one of my too. Up in Mindanao. I played golf with him. The SOB can drive it down the middle of the fairway every time. 260 yds. Uphill downhill doesn't matter. I had the staff tell me on the 8th hole that the damned Japs were landing at Pago Pago. I couldn't take it anymore.
RADM "Jocko" Clark: Ummm..are there two copies of me too?
Tall patrician-looking fellow with 5 stars: Oh, coe on Jocko, don't be silly.

The IJN are working on their own cloning machine, reverse engineered from a captured set of schematics.
It still needs some tuning.
Is this where the ranks of RADM upper and lower halves came from?
Your explanation makes sense: the difference between rear area and air.ORIGINAL: RangerJoe

Is this where the ranks of RADM upper and lower halves came from?
No. Lower half is an O7 while the upper half is an O8 or in other terms, a lower half is the same rank as a brigadier while an upper half is the same rank as a major general.

I think Pocahontas Girl (PG) finally kidnapped him and is having her way with him in her basement ...ORIGINAL: RangerJoe
He did write something about having a lot of babies but he has not logged in for over a month.

She probably bought some good single-malt Scotch to keep him anaesthetized.
PG is the former neighbour who divorced her cheating husband and moved but still parties with Cap and SG from time to time. She has a habit of hitting on males when she has had a little libation.ORIGINAL: RangerJoe

I thought that she was "Stalker Girl?"
He can also get the even stronger stuff from medical supply. I think they also call it "rocket fuel!"

Sounds like "We are Legion. We are Bob." Good read. Suggest the audiobook.ORIGINAL: capmandrake2
A clerk/typist spilled coffee on the Mk VIII Disgronifier and now I have become a free-floating plasma of silicon and germanium and stuff like that trying to recover all my passwords. It's very difficult because I don't have any fingers. I have found that I can sort of hover over the keyboard and kind of roll around a bit and the induced magnetic field will close the circuit on the key but I already melted some of the plastic. I did manage to send an email to Slitherine but it is a Sunday. Maybe some of the Shinto Boys are working today.
