Death of Your First Bjorn is a form of divine retribution™ applied to reproductive scientists who attempt to clone male Swedes. The phenomenon was first observed in 1998, when Stockholm University geneticist Dr. Gustav Pfaltzmann successfully cloned ABBA singer/guitarist Bjorn Ulvaeus, only to see the infant clone struck by lightning while still in the incubation chamber. Although subsequent attempts by Pfaltzmann to clone Ulvaeus were more successful, the additional cost associated with repeating the experiment nearly drove the university's Genetics Institute into bankruptcy.
