I read somewhere that you could extract DNA from animals preserved in amber and then reanimate them into live critters, like Dinosaurs and such.
Is that true? ;)

“Weird stuff” ain’t what it used to be. IMHO.

i saw the documentary on that... fascinating.
the missing strands of corrupted dna were substituted with amphibian dna...
it is amazing what they can do.

A Thug Ant is picking on a little Rover Roach who was busy looking at his new cell phone.
“Where you goin’ with that phone, Boy?
“Why? This is MY phone. Got it for my birthday today, and you can’t have it!”
“We’ll see about that, Junior. I can’t even borrow it?!”
To: BenLurkin
I’m glad Hell Ants are extinct! I wouldn’t want to meet a living Hell Ant!

Many people have experience with Hell Aunts. Maybe the 6 legged ones would be less trouble.

“Hell ants lived during the Cretaceous period (about 145.5 million to 65.5 million years ago)” They went extinct because they had little ant-bodies to fight the diseases of the day.

Paraponera clavata is natures' improved model of ant, commonly known as the bullet ant, named for its extremely potent sting.

But it would be something if they could resurrect this 100 million year old species!
