I’m thinking the other way...What horrors can he bring down upon us??? Aids began with a monkey.

[Vermont Lt]

Yeah, they went from being very warm, to very cold in a meter of hours.

Try to figure that one out from current science.

[Klemper]

What good is a wooly mammoth leg? Why not clone the whole thing? Nobody wants to see a leg at the zoo! TEE HEE!

[Vermont Lt]

A generation of little boys would have to deal with frogs that can fight back. That would be something to see.

I saw the solution on TV. You have the wholly mammoth a member of a pack of modern elephants! I am sure the zoo keepers can grow the tundra grasses.

Never been in the Texas panhandle, have you?

...led by Hwang Woo-Suk...

Sorry. I had to type that and then LOL

Pleistocene re-wilding.

lol

Is that the pre-historic version of eating dog? Dino as a sauropod would be a cousin of the Brontosaurus slaughtered for the rack of ribs.

This may take the Paleo diet to a whole new level.

There’s another Far Side I can’t find.
An old caveman picks up a mammoth tail, apparently tossed away.
He scolds the `youngsters’ skinning-out the beast:
“When I was your age, we used EVERY part of the kill!”

[Vermont Lt]

Yea, I have. And I appreciate what you are saying. But has a long horn ever dropped dead and be frozen solid and buried in ice within a couple of days?

We are talking major “climate” change, the likes of which only come from moving the earths crust a few thousand miles in a few hours.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

There was one where a cat was about to enter a shower and there was a huge tongue on the wall instead of a shower head. LOL

[tumblindice]

Curious cat is poking around the laundry room, dog is hiding behind a curtain.
Crudely lettered sign points to dryer with open door: `Fud Inside’.
Caption for dog: “(Please. Oh please.)’

And Larson wasn’t/isn’t much of dog lover, more of a snake/reptile charmer.

In 1970, the SMERSH facility believed to house Hitler's remains was scheduled to be handed over to the East German government. Fearing that a known Hitler burial site might become a Neo-Nazi shrine, KGB director Yuri Andropov authorised an operation to destroy the remains that had been buried in Magdeburg on 21 February 1946. A Soviet KGB team was given detailed burial charts. On 4 April 1970 they secretly exhumed five wooden boxes containing the remains of "10 or 11 bodies ... in an advanced state of decay". The remains were thoroughly burned and crushed, after which the ashes were thrown into the Biederitz river, a tributary of the nearby Elbe.

According to Ian Kershaw the corpses of Braun and Hitler were thoroughly burned when the Red Army found them, and only a lower jaw with dental work could be identified as Hitler's remains.

I hope no one will be able to find the remains of Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and other totalitarian socialist heroes of the far left. When today's socialist leaders die (no names, but even the West has one), this is one more reason to make sure their remains are obliterated.

[ I read some stories about this. Someone claims a resurrected mammoth would need to be on antibiotics 24/7 to protect the animal from the all diseases that have developed or mutated since extinction. ]

That is a bunch of hooey, The animal would adapt.

Otherwise we would die when going on vacation overseas.

[GraceG]

[ At the same time, they would starve since their grazing area, the steppe tundra/mammoth steppe no longer exists. ]

Just like the cows that starve to death in unnatural feedlots....

Bring back the sabre toothed tiger and t-rex.
