[Klimtology]

Bringing extinct animals back to life is really happening — and it’s going to be very, very cool. Unless it ends up being very, very bad.

If all the extinct animals weren't so friggin awesome I'd be on the side of leaving well enough alone... But we're talking mammoths and sabertooth tigers and dinosaurs here. It's not like they're trying to make gerbils and squirrels and ####. If you have the ability to recreate mammoths and sabertooth tigers and dinosaurs then you absolutely DO IT. No matter what.

Ugh. Nevermind - just read the article and they're working on bringing back Passenger Pigeons? Lame. What a waste of time and money.

Right. I saw that too. All of the animals listed are quite boring. Although, the ones that I think are interesting probably would end up doing the most damage. So I'm torn.

This will be the best part. I have waited my whole life to see how a brontosaurus burger tastes.
