A few days after seeing Jurassic World, I told the wife the sequel was greenlit, and she said, "When will they learn to stop going there and messing with the dinosaurs?" I responded with "When people stop going to Camp Crystal Lake."

A funny little back and forth about human beings inability to learn from others' mistakes.

And in today's news...

This is a guy who helped consult on Jurassic World!

I say set this scientist loose in Australia's outback and see if they still want to add more things that can kill you to nature's arsenal.

I'm skeptical until they bring back a thing only dead for 5k years, like a mammoth. Until then dinosaurs are a pipe dream.

I'd prefer this or using the technique to bring back some species from the brink of extinction.

First they should bring back the dodo. Supposedly they were delicious and docile enough to be perfect for factory farming.
