Heh heh.  Well, to tell the truth, I was also thinking of the remarkable
 breakthroughs they've made in genes relating to the eye.  Don't forget the
 discovery and sucessful use of the eyeless gene in the fruit fly.  I don't
 know for sure, but it's entirely possible that eye color genes may also
 have been discovered.  I wonder if they can do red eyes?
 
 Well, blue hair, red eyes, cloning is certainly possible (even if banned
 by the US government as immoral), and the date for the second impact
 looms.

And on that note, an addition to the Fun but Really Creepy Facts File: 

Several months ago, researchers at the U of Tokyo (operating in flagrant 
disregard of international law, incidentally) perfected a cloning technique 
and successfully used it on a small, yet particularly important piece (I 
forget the exact name, but it was something with lot's of 'ides' in it) of 
the human genome. My science proffesor gave us all nifty little handout 
packets on it just as a point of interest.

On the back of those packets they gave a list of researchers affiliated with 
the project.

Two of the names were:

Fuyutsuki Kouzou, and
Fuyutsuki Yui.

Anybody else funked by that?

p.s And before you ask, NO, there are no Rokubungis OR Ikari's on the list. I 
checked.
