Scientists are now wondering if genes can be implanted into eggs of an existing species and born to surrogate mothers (numbat and Tasmanian devil are mentioned as possible hosts). The last tiger died in Hobart, Tasmania on September 9, 1936. It was believed the tigers were hunted to extinction (CD: Thems was good eatin) on Tasmania, but unconfirmed sighting have persisted to this day".

Offensive? Moi? by m_evanchik · 2001-11-25 06:05 · Score: 1, Flamebait

YOU stupid troll. At least I have the decency to sign my posts. Pray tell what is it that you find offensive about the link. I'd ask you in an e-mail, but it is difficult to do so with an ANONYMOUS COWARD.

You are the offensive one, making insulting remarks about a website that is obviously beyond you in matters of taste, humor and intelligence.

Moron.
