Aliens cloned my baby!

Or something like that, according to this story:

A member of a sect that believes life on Earth was created by extraterrestrials claimed Friday to have produced the world's first human clone, a baby girl.

The 7-pound baby was born Thursday by Caesarean section, said Brigitte Boisselier, a chemist and head of a company that did the experiment. She wouldn't say where the baby was born; she did say the birth was at 11:55 a.m. local time.

I'm not going to spend any time debating the merits (snort) of this claim. I'm just going to point you to the accompanying picture of Brigitte Boisselier and note that it does lend a certain air of credence to talk of cloned extraterrestrial alien babies. Nanoo nanoo!
