Resurrection Ecology Gives Life to Old Eggs
Ant writes "ABC News reports that scientists are bringing the past to life by hatching eggs once thought to be dead and producing colonies of animals as they existed decades ago. They are calling it 'resurrection ecology,' and it's a whole new field that quite literally allows scientists to observe evolution as it occurred, using animals that were quite different than their kinfolk today."
Resurrection Ecology Gives Life to Old Eggs
;-)
Maybe this will put an end to those viagra emails I keep getting too.
Can this possibly be used as an argument for evolution?
How does this demonstrate evolution? Don't they know the eggs were planted there just to fool them???
it sounds like a plot for a good movie...I wonder if hollywood would be interested... quick to the batmobile.....
This is a Unix system. I know this.
Most eggcellent!

Let's hear it for the Dodo Bird!!!
Those things must have been tasty if they went so extinct.
Maybe I'll get to taste one in my lifetime...
Regenerate, brought to you by the Umbrella Corporation.
Why, was he trying to hatch them himself?
welcome our new extinct avian overlords.
Slashdot poster brings back memes thought to be dead and produces jokes as they existed decades ago. He calls it "resurrection karma".
Unfortunately, no good can come of it, as those memes are the same ones we have today.
Reminds me of the old joke -- Easter is canceled, they found the body...
So to you, nothing is real except for some mathematical theorems? I wonder how you are able to get out of bed in the morning...
I don't care if it's 90,000 hectares. That lake was not my doing.
Netcraft confirms that this is an "extinct" unix
system... (alas, poor SGI).
Satan, the Devil, has no Power but if you are of weak Faith He does.
The Good Lord bade Satan to put the dinosaur fossils in the ground to tempt and corrupt the wek-minded (scientists, athiests, liberals and "reasonable men").
Dinosaurs are the work of Satan, and meddling in Satanic affairs will bring no Good, only Hellish Torment(TM) and terror upon those foolish enough to dabble in the Occult.
By playing with Dinosaurs' eggs, the Occult is being dabbled with, and Bad Men will unleash a thousand years of Darkness upon the face of the Earth, just like in liberal socialist Europe where they're all athiests, muslims and catholics anyway.
Pay heed, my children and shun the Work of the Devil. Do not dabble in the occult. Do not fiddle with the eggs of Dinosaurs lest ye should unleash Satan's unholy demonic army of plague, death, pestilence and Heavy Metal.

Oh Bill... I actually think it's a good thing he didn't make it this far because the reign of King George II (or Reagan III, if you prefer) would have made his fricking head explode.
RIP.

Everything around you is evidence of the creation.
QED.
PS. You yourself are also evidence of the creation.
