So, I have a newsfeed that consists of headlines plus maybe a lead line under it. I'm sure most of us do. I'm scanning down the list today and my eyes read the following:

How to Make Humans from Scratch

Well, that does tend to draw one up short. I think my eyes skidded a bit. Scroll back up. Look again. Oh.

How to Make Hummus from Scratch

But golly gee the writer in me does yearn for the first one!

Are We Not (Synthetic) Men?

No, synthetic or otherwise, we are Devo.

As for "Making Humans from Scratch"... sounds like a sci-fi short story to me, about some alien preteen who gets an Easy-Bake-oven like kit for their spawnday and the hijinks that ensue when the freshly cooked humans start running amok.
