| 561426 | 2007-06-22 04:20:00 | It will be interesting to find what are hidden in the ice of this world. I'm speculating any creatures that had lived during the earth's ice ages may have fallen into thin ice and quickly frozen in the north or south poles. If such specimen could be recovered, and their DNA is not too extensively damaged, we may be able to clone it. But I don't think I will condone resurrecting extinct animals..... |

If we resurrected a mammoth, chances are it will be subjected to an array of horrendous experiments involving placing it in conditions unfavorable to its preferred niche. But then again, if such resurrection can be done, it sure will be some thing to see..... |

| 561429 | 2007-06-22 06:19:00 | And just think of all that fresh barbecue meat that they'll provide . In total support of and allegiance to NZers, we had lamb chops, barbecued with butter fried mushrooms and sweet onions smothered over them . A nice dark Mexican beer: Negro Modello ( . mikesliquors . com/beer . html" target="_blank">www . mikesliquors . com) and afterwards coffee and strawberry shortcake with homemade whipped cream . Just for youse guys! Yum! |

But I don't think I will condone resurrecting extinct animals..... Come now, that would be fascinating. The problem is that DNA deteriorates. However it should be possible to genetically engineer a pseudo-mammoth. After all the information is contained in modern elephants, just a matter of tweaking...... Ah the future, it is a different country......:eek: |

| 561432 | 2007-06-22 17:33:00 | New Zealand Lamb??? Or an inferior version grown in a country other than the Land Of The Long White Cloud?? I ONLY buy NZ lamb, as the US stuff is too flavorless and uninteresting . I actually prefer mutton . . . my mom was really good at making mutton stew, which my sister and I would eat until we turned green . My dad would not even come into the house when it was cooking . My wife had never had lamb until she married me . . . or was it the other way around . . I married here? Anyway, she is so lamb-hungry now that she's always got some in the freezer . . and YES . . it has the NZ label on it . We have to buy it from specialty stores that deal in imported foods . The cost is about the same as the domestic lamb . |
