[Note - referring to the recent announcement of five cloned pigs, by the 
	people who brought you Dolly the sheep - ed.] 

It had long been decided that the first cloned pig PPL produced in the new millennium would be called Millie. Christa, Alexis and Carrel are named after Dr. Christian Barnard, who performed the first human-human heart transplant in 1967, and Dr. Alexis Carrel, Nobel prize winner in 1912, for his significant work in the field of transplantation.

The unexpected fifth is called Dotcom, or Dotty for short, because as Ron James joked: "Any association with dotcoms right now seems to have a very positive influence on a company's valuation."
