Imagine this, if you will. Scientists have discovered that they are capable of cloning humans, giving them the ability to bring deceased geniuses back through new life. They have chosen to clone Mozart, but, in a twist, the hair retrieved from Mozart is actually his pubic hair, leading to the clone being a much more immature version of the man.
