Not really applicable to TC, but during WWII the japanese developed an EM weapon utilizing radio waves focused into a high power beam. Apparently it was capable of stopping a trucks engine at a range of about 50 meters and killing rabbits at 30. And remember, we're talking 40's technology here.
When they introduced themselves as SS agents you should have cried out: "I had nothing to do with the sale of nuclear weapons to Osama Bin Laden! Nothing!!! I swear!!!"
But how much DNA did they manage to extract?
Scientists have managed to extract DNA from dinosaur bones, but only in minute quantities. It doesn't matter that they have DNA from three different speciments if the sequences aren't complete. Unfortuantly the article doesn't seem to mention how much DNA they extracted.
Explosives aren't really necesarry. Think of what powers those big jet engines on modern airliners. Then think about how many tons of it is onboard an average airliner.

Why has this been moderated as "Troll"? Offtopic maybe, but it's certainly not Troll.

Link: Starchaser He might just do it, maybe. I'll give him a 1/2 chance of doing it within 2010.
How about the fact that Quake III Arena is commonly used as a benchmark to test performance? No, no treachery here... (If they have indeed done it)

I can't really see what practical use this has, but I'm sure it was a nice excersice getting it up and running.
