Dog is the most innovation of 2005, according to Time Magazine

Someone may want to let Time Magazine editors know that dogs have been around for about 150,000 years, because Time has named a puppy as 2005's most amazing invention. Of course, this is no regular puppy but Snuppy, a 5-month-old Afghan hound who happens to be the world's first cloned dog.

Being named the innovation of the year qualifies Snuppy as a genuine celeb, don't you think?

The pooch was cloned at Seoul National University in Korea by a 45-person team. Snuppy's genes are derived from a single cell taken from the ear of an adult Afghan, rather than the egg and sperm of a mother and father, Time said.

Other inventions featured in the magazine, due on newsstands on Nov. 14, include a bicycle with a hydrogen-powered fuel-cell engine, a one-time use video camcorder, and a robotic cat that recognizes speech commands.
