I'm not interested until I can use the scorpion venom to create an army of genetically enhanced super clones.

That's because you used your clones in a chorus line in a Las Vegas show instead of trying to conquer the Earth

To my credit I did try to conquer Mars...but the clones started a union...and when all your troops are in a union...you just KNOW that's the end of things...

What you expect him to spring for the escape-proof enclosure?
I bet he's using an empty fishtank (without a lid). It matches the rusted tireless hulk of a car sitting in his back yard he uses for a doghouse. Don't laugh, nearly everyone knows where "that" guy lives.  ;D

They can if you make them little scuba tanks and scorpion shapped wet suits...

What? I just don't like the people next door, and they happen to have a pool.

That just adds cost and complexity to the whole program. I want a low cost way to create scuba scorpions.
