What I want to know is WTF are they going to do with it??

Study it?? For what? What good would come of this??

I think all the money spent on stupid shit like this could be put to better use.. Like, I don't know.. Saaaay.. Cancer research.. Or something else that's actually useful...

1) carnival/flea market rides

2) "throwback-era" mounted police steeds

3) pulling carriages for royalty/WWE wrestlers

4) Flintstones-style construction equipment :jamin

as fascinating as it is, that they think they can do this... the things died out for a reason, and its no where near the climate needed for such beast to be comfortable.. it is WOOLLY, after all... also, most of its food is extinct, as well.. I'm sure there's something, today, that is related to the plant life, but who's to say it won't make the animal unhealthy, or have what it needs... it died out for a reason... resurrecting one animal, to watch it, in an environment that its not even native to, anymore, in hopes to gain some insite into the day and life of one, is just stupid... study the dead ones, but leave the damn things dead...

Such little faith in science you have... ironic

It's not so much science that I don't have faith in. I think that if there was a valid reason to recreate a mammoth, and it was made a huge priority, that, for better of worse, scientists could eventually come up with a reasonable elephant-mammoth hybrid.

It's scientists who have no reason to recreate a mammoth other than to proverbially "play-god" and create a Jurassic Park-esque mammoth exhibit to line their pockets that I have little faith in.

Better than then being paid by the pharm companies to jack up studies in their favor. Junk science is called that for a reason.

Very true the Big Business Pharm companies need to be shot down anyway for all the shit vacines and lifes they ruuin. Lets get nock those Thymerosol using pigs down a peg or two. If you don't know what Thymerosol is it's a preservative used in vacines to give them a longer self life. The problem is it's poison! It contains mercury. They have vacines with out that in it but they cost more and why would they a do the right thing when there's money to be had. Many kids go blind, have their brains pickled, ect., but you dont hear about it cause pharm companies buy alot of ad spots in the media. I dont see the point of bringing the mamoth back , when so many other things could be fixed first. I know they could but there is no point in it at this juncture in history. I personally would bring back L. Ron Hubbard so I could kick him square in the balls!

      How Are You Feeling? (cont'd)

      By TronRP · Posted

      I am currently floored.   FedEx did a massive 6 box delivery to the wrong address.  I had an autoship order scheduled to arrive before this past weekend.  Nothing showed up.  I contacted the order site and they had a link for the order...a photo of all my boxes thrown in the snow and up the sidewalk of a residence that was not mine.   You would think that at some point, the driver would have looked at the delivery address after they kept throwing box upon box at this location with no shelter from the elements.  They didn't even knock on the door to inform the residents that massive 65+ pound boxes were left all over their walkway.  Nope.  Just dumped them, took a photo as they were walking away and left.   I wonder what the person who found all of those misdelivered boxes must have been thinking when they saw them.  Maybe they kept everything to use, distribute or sell.  No idea.  No claim was filed on that end as of yet.   Fortunately for me, one of the sites that I ordered from, replaced everything at no extra cost.   Unfortunately, now I'm concerned for the other items yet to be delivered.   Needless to say, I'll be watching my notifications like a hawk.

      ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.
