   If they bring back the mammoth, maybe we will find out what really drove them to extinction.... the fact that they are soooo dang yummy!!!

   i have a friend that has had a lizard in her freezer for about 3 years... she cant find a good place to bury it... i can only assume that someone really loved the hell out of that rat.

   "Who knows what’s in there now …" What ever it is, they can clone it...

   "whatever it is"... the rarely found and usually found dead giant squid? blue fin tuna whose numbers are dwindling and taste so good (clone and release)? ALL rare or dying out species? animals we'll need for meat when overpopulation hits the tipping point area? my son Douglas who was killed yesterday in a car crash?

   Guys, if you haven't noticed, its not a rat, its a gerbil.

   Well, at least with this tech we can clone animals whose populations are dwindling. As well, if possible we can use this to clone organs without having to get into the big hoopla over stem cells.

   Yeah but this report fails to mention if the rat can still sing "Walking on Sunshine".

    I think it's a mouse, not a gerbil. But I'm not up on my small rodents.

    I want a mammoth!

    definitely a mouse guys
    and about cloning animals with dwindling populations, um that's not really going to work, wayy to much inbreeding,unless it's highly controlled or they get DNA from already dead specimens, but still most animals have more than one baby, which would make too much of the same genetics running around

    It's relatively easy to forget dead animals in freezers. My dad has had a bohemian waxwing in the freezer for about 20 years now. He finds it from there in every two or three years and says "I should finally take this to the taxidermist", puts it back and forgets it again. I guess it will be there for the next 20 years as well.

    Maybe I should dig the eight year old pink grapefruit/strawberry juice I found yesterday out of the trash and see what I can make from it.

    renderanything: you can make a great drink.... just add plenty of vodka

    I suggest 1 part vodka to 0.00000000000000001 parts old juice.
