Has Cliff Claven become a Freeper?
This extinct species revival thing is more difficult in the real world than it looks on paper. There’ve been at least three different examples of wooly mammoth tissue found with “viable” DNA, but “viable” doesn’t necessarily equate to suitable for cloning. Yet. Apparently it’s best if the sample has remained hard-frozen essentially from the moment of death. And it isn’t possible to confirm the tissue has never thawed — even briefly — over a span of 12,000 years old. The only way to know to a certainty is to select a sample that looks and tests suitable and giving it a whirl. You can’t know until you try.
But this is going to happen, eventually. Maybe not the Tasmanian tiger, maybe not the wooly mammoth, maybe not the Eurasian cave lion, but it IS going to happen. Bet on it.
I personally am looking forward to one of the high-fence game preserves in Texas stocking wooly mammoths, because as a man-made creation, they can’t be controlled by the Endangered Species Act. So I’m wondering what the trophy fee will be to hunt one of them bad boys, and what the cartridge of choice will be.
Do a little studying on the topic of mass and physical structure and stop with the suddenly popular ad hominums.
Cliff has spoken, now buy Norm a beer.
Ignorance seems to have become not only the rule here, but a desired trait.
Lets bring back passenger pidgeons! Last one died in 1924 and is frozen! We can get the DNA. Bring them back—raise them and sell them to restaurants—they were good eatting!

That would be SO cool!
Actually, and unfortunately, the Feds now regulate endangered species even if you have saved them from extinction through your own private resources, on your own private land, on a continent where they had never existed previously. This is how sick the anti-hunting animal rights people really are:
Some people just don’t have a sense of humor.
An attribute/trait that is Weighted by experience and I mention it with Heavy Sarcasm with just a little Levity thrown in to be fair.
See post 30, I think Norm needs a beer.
I was going to ask him if he’s been on AM Coast to Coast, but let it go.
It was fun, got some retro belly laughs thinking about Cheers.
