Don't listen to these two, Riot87 --Encino Man is silly, goofy, ridiculous fun. Not at all deep, pretty stupid...but it makes me laugh It's about two suburban kids (Sean Astin & Pauly Shore) who are trying to dig a pool in one of their back yards. They unearth a caveman (Brendan Fraser) and try to teach him how to be a 'normal' high school kid. Stupid? Yes. But funny!

Please don't start a Pauly Shore appreciation thread.

LOL! You'll never get that from me. Austin and Fraser were much funnier (to me).

I really hope they can do it.

Can the Long-Extinct Woolly Mammoth Be Cloned? - Yahoo News

Orson Welles? Cool!

The saying just because they can doesn't mean they should comes to mind. It is sad that so many species have gone extinct but I wonder if bringing them back would upset the current ecological balance even more, at least in some cases. And I'm with Emarx about not completely trusting some geneticists to do the right thing.

The fact that they became extinct in the first place is telling. However, certain examples I would like to see returned which were made extinct by the activity of man, such as the Dodo bird.

Brundle-Mammoth??

Cloning is a bad idea. Haven't you people seen Star Wars??

First mammoths, then this:

Well, whether we wlll is a moot point, ethical or not. If we can, we will. That's our history.

I have serious reservations when it comes to reintroduction. I'm trying to think of one - just one - instance where we introduced a species that didn't have adverse effect, and I'm coming up short. Oh, there may be been some instances. But they are outweighed by the instances of where it turned out to be a Bad Thing.

All the same, I can't but help but feel an overwhelming curiosity at the prospect of being able to study a live mammoth. That takes us back to the first paragraph.

Dolly. Not impressed.

"During excavations, the carcass oozed a dark red liquid that may have been fresh mammoth blood. In fact, the mammoth meat was reportedly fresh enough that one of the scientists took a bite of it."

WTF? Because when you encounter 40,000 year old flesh, your first instinct is to EAT it?

Archaeologists (or paleontologists for that matter) are weird people (i know). I know of several cases when they have made a meal of a part of a wellpreserved frozen specimen. Once a Mammoth (before this one i mean) and once the now extinct wholly Rhino. I'm sure there has been more occasions. But you're right it is gross and not exactly sanitary thinking.
