Huh? Choose-your-own-meaning from this CNN.com caption 

Wednesday - July 19, 2006
Forget the debate over stem-cells for a sec to consider this photo caption from CNN.com, which has more possible meanings than there are views on stem-cell research.


This caption is either saying:

"President Bush holds a child - adopted as an embryo - Wednesday after vetoing a stem-cell research bill."

Probably the proper intent if not the least interesting.


"President Bush holds a child, who was adopted while an embryo on Wednesday, after vetoing a stem-cell research bill. "

Damn, that's one fast grow'n embryo!


"President Bush holds a child, who was adopted while an embryo on Wednesday, after said child vetoed a stem-cell research bill. "
CNN or is it really CNV?

Whoa. The kid, as only a mere embryo on Wednesday, signed legislation in-vitro that ultimately allowed him to exist. See the kinds of embryos stem-cell research would destroy if not for the veto?

or the winner...


"President Bush holds a child who was adopted, while Bush was an embryo on Wednesday, after the child (or Bush - take your pick) vetoed a stem-cell research bill. "

Ah yes, embryo President Bush holding an adopted child who vetoed a stem-cell research bill.

Ah, fun with punctuation and free time.
