Apparently the source of the DNA will be a newly found mammoth specimen in Siberia. Due to genetic constraints, the final mammoth specimen will only be 88% pure mammoth and the process will take about 50 years."

    No, no, no! The United States is the Great Satan. We must attack it always with complete disregard to the truth. Automobiles are only driven in the US, polluted rivers only occur in the US, and only US oil tankers leak. This is the result of capitalism, which only exists in the US.
