Simmer an hour or so in a stockpot with celery, salt, and pepper. Strain twice through fresh cheesecloth.
Then make the soup.

Hillary really lost a lot of weight during the presidential campaign. She needs some government free cheese and fries.
To: BenLurkin
It is presumed that the dodo became flightless because of the ready availability of abundant food sources and a relative absence of predators https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodo
So, THAT's what you turn into living in a "Safe Space."
You turn into Dodo's.
Got it.

I think the person who collected the bones for 4 decades is a dodo. Sorry, couldn’t help myself.

Perhaps there’s enough DNA to clone some.

Sold to Dr. Dolittle? How do you train dodo birds? Stick their noses in dodo?

To me the Komodo Dragon is pretty close to being a dinosaur. Not the huge ones but there were similar sized ones to the Komodo as well.

The word dodo actually means love.

The big question that I haven’s seen anywhere, is have they been able to recover the DNA of the dodo? If they could get a male and female set, someday they might be able to recreate the species, like they are trying to do with woolly mammoths.
The technique proposed for mammoths is to insert some of the mammoth DNA into an elephant embryo. Then if a viable hybrid is born, to add more mammoth DNA to its offspring, so that in four or five generations, you have a 98% mammoth.
