>> First of all, mammoths lived in the ice age, which means temperatures around 0F. I doubt an 80+% mammoth would survive in today's environments (or then maybe in Siberia).
Gee, I guess that would explain all the dead Polar Bears at the zoo this summer.
Recently the remains of a Bison were found in a Colorado glacier. They are only 200 to 400 years old, and might be a good way to practice restoration cloning. The DNA is "fresher" and could be used to impregnate a much closer relative (genetically) of the original beast. What better way to learn to do this to older samples?
Yeah, and accidentally or unknowingly erase some random important system file, the absence of which totally FUBARs your machine. This will give you the opportunity to interact with and appreciate your sysadmin all the more, and he/she will appreciate the job security.
Actually, the FBI is out there actively looking for people selling moonrocks. There was an article on NPR a week or so ago about a fellow who had (legally?) bought a commemorative plaque containing a moonrock. Nixon had given the plaque to some South American country that had since gone revolutionary, and the item fell into the hands of a would-be moonrock entrepreneur in Florida. There's some sort of legal battle going on to determine the legality of ownership of the rock in the US. The point of all the OT rambling, being that, as stupid as they sound, the FBI is actually spending time hunting down real and fake moonrocks.

$180mm of cash and near-cash, and $25mm of burn this quarter (+/- depending how you count), gives them a life expectancy of two years. I suspect we'll see a catalyst one way or the other before then though.

I test drove BMW's 740 iDrive, which is powered by Windows CE, and it kept insisting on putting my latte in the "My Cupholders" folder. Very annoying.
Uh, no.
