Try not to get all "Jurassic Park" Halfy As much as Id love to see a real flesh & blood Dino, ( small veggie one please ) It just wouldn't be conducive to the way we live.

Obviously I have a lot of work to do, which is why I'm here instead.

If any of you don't know about the Russian submarine commander who single handedly prevented nuclear apocalypse during the Cuban Missile Crisis, you should watch "The Man Who Saved the World" from PBS's Secrets of the Dead series.

{{{Cheers Halfy- got some work about the barrel to do- that will make a good background to listen to! (And yes I am also here procrastinating said work!) }}}

{{{Its blocked in the uk!! Now as well as being crabbit about the work I have to do that I am not doing, Im crabbit about that too! Thanks Halfy!! }}}

Here to help!

Try googling "secrets of the dead the man who saved the world" and see if one of the links will be usable.

This made me go cold tho I'm glad you posted it.

I don't care if it's irresponsible. I still want one!

Same here, if they can do it then do it. Would love to see a T-Rex as well.

Yeah. It's not like they have anyone to breed with. They don't stick on doorknobs and multiply like bacteria. Bring'em back!

You lot sound like a gang of kids girl kids Id love to see a Mammoth but I worry for any kind of life it would have ? Look at the barbaric way ordinary elephants are so cruelly killed for NOTHING more than their ivory "we" cant even look after what we already have.

They'd only be in zoos, mebbe a well controlled park. There's no place to cut'em loose in the wild. Bison were hard enough to bring back.

This is the sort of thing I like, when they find 'gems' hidden, often under your feet or right in front of you
