Scientists are going to reverse-engineer a dinosaur.

http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/09/ff_chickensaurus/

Basically, people are planning to make a dinosaur out of a chicken by activating ancient, un-used genes which birds had before they evolved from dinosaurs. Not only can this tell us things about dinosaurs that we've never known -- it'll prove evolution for the naysayers who claim that there isn't enough 'proof'.


Thoughts?

 

yabba dabba doo..

 

It's all good until someone gets eaten.

 

That's why they used a chicken, not an ostrich.

 

so, a Brontosaurus burger will taste like chicken?... Do want..

 

I see some very large omelets in the future.

 

Wow it's like Jurassic Park for realsies.

 

If this is true I think it's bullshit! Why the fuck do we need to engineer a fucking dinosaur?!!! Don't we have enough problems? And where the fuck are all of these assholes getting all this money? The economy is fucking suffering and they have nothing better to do than sit around and play Jurassic Park all day...Wow!

 

There's more to the world than just money, you know. The advancement of human knowledge is much more important than the economy ever will be.


Deal with it.

 

Because it's science.

Science also helps the economy.

 

Oh yeah , it's brilliant ! Sounds like a perfectly insane thing to do . I'm sure it will end up in a total f.u.b.a.r situation , like everything else man touches . T-rex's walking down main street sounds absolutely delightful . Of course you would have some goofy assholes trying to put a leash on them . Saying crazy shit like " they understand , their feelings , or shit like " they are just misunderstood and need love "

I wonder if they can make them liberal dinosaurs . To help in the occupy wall street protest . That would put a new "fun" spin on things .

"EAT THE PIG , REXIE , EAT THE PIG ! ---- That's a good boy "

 

lets bring back the stoned age

 

i'm a scientist

this seems pointless

 

OMG!
Have they not seen Jurassic Park!!

 

That is really going to fuck with some poor mama hen's head. Fuzzy chick, fuzzy chick, fuzzy chick, motherfucking dinosaur...

 

This has been done before, I think. I heard some kind of velociraptor popped out of the tank and started eating everyone.

They killed it and buried all the evidence.

History repeating itself.

 

Mmmm. . . buffalo chickensaurus with bleu cheese.

 

This will probably never actually happen. I bet they could too though.

 

Well yeah you would make a comment like that because you live in Canada. The united states is in terrible shape and we can't afford to be spending unnecessary money right now. And how the fuck is creating a fucking "dinosaur" going to advance human knowledge? Why the fuck do we need to create a dinosaur? That is just stupidity, wtf is the world coming to?!!

 

If I had to choose between no dinosaurs and an herbivore, I'd choose no dinosaur. If I had to choose between a carnivore and an herbivore, I'd choose the herbivore. As long as it just eats plants, I think it'd be fine. Although, it is a superfluous expenditure. I mean, we are in America, and our government's on a fucking spending spree. . . and you wonder why we're buying ourselves a dinosaur.
