'Jurassic Park' For Real? Dino-Chicken Experiment Underway
From: NextMovie
Beware, good sir: Nature will find a way.
Montana State University paleontologist Jack Horner served as a consultant on "Jurassic Park," but apparently all of the film's cautionary elements -- like the fact that what you bring back to life could kill you -- went over his head, as he's set to create his own modern dinosaur hybrid.
(More After The Break)
Somewhat luckily, Horner isn't looking to make a T-Rex (although apparently not for lack of trying) but a ... chicken.
A dino-chicken, anyway.
"The whole idea of making a dinosaur came from ["Jurassic Park" author Michael Crichton's] original idea," Horner told Hollywood.com. "I kept thinking, 'There's got to be a way to do this.'"

DNA Evidence Proves Bigfoot Exists!
From Zee News
London: While many people claim to have seen the Bigfoot, its existence has never been confirmed, except for a plethora of photos and footprints.
But now, even the sternest non-believer is sure to be convinced of its existence, as scientific evidence has provided an abundance of persuasion with the latest DNA evidence, the Daily Express reported.
A team of scientists - including experts in genetics, forensics, imaging and pathology - have published the results of a five-year study of more than 100 DNA samples, claimed to be from the elusive Sasquatch.
The researchers concluded that they have sequenced three whole Bigfoot nuclear genomes, helping to prove that the legendary creature exists in North America, and is actually a human relative that arose 13,000 years ago.
The scientists speculate that the Bigfoot creature is a hybrid cross of modern Homo sapiens, with a novel primate species, giving it the species name Homo sapiens cognatus.
Dr Melba S. Ketchum, of DNA Diagnostics, and her colleagues analyzed 111 specimens during the study that were purported to be Sasquatch hair, blood, skin, and other tissue types.
Individuals at 34 different research sites in 14 US states and two Canadian provinces submitted samples for the study.
Dr Ketchum, whose work includes nearly 30 years in genetic research and forensics, said that the findings definitively prove the existence of a surviving Bigfoot in North America.
Speaking about what the next step should be following the findings, Dr Ketchum said she would like to see the creatures have "the same protections as any other human."
The scientist said the legendary beings should have "the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of their own happiness, meaning that they be left alone and not put under a microscope, not hunted, not harassed, not chased through the woods.
The results are published in the journal DeNovo Journal of Science.

Scientists Ready To Unleash "Gamera" And Giant Cows Upon Mankind
Written By: Ken HulseySource: Asylum
You just know that it would come to this someday. Ever since "Jurassic Park" hit the book stores, and movie houses, back in the 1990s, we all knew that someday scientists would bring back some horror, or horrors, from the past to ravage mankind.
I'm sorry to report that the day that we all feared, is upon us now.
For the past couple of decades we have heard all kinds of reports that scientists were poised to mess with God's plan, and bring back some sort of extinct species, most likely the prehistoric Mammoth since frozen specimens are plentiful and could provide good samples of DNA.
Ah, but now science has moved on from fuzzy elephants to giant turtles and cattle.....
Okay.....maybe that doesn't sound as menacing as I had made it out to be?
Let me explain. Researchers at Yale university have been performing extensive DNA tests on giant Galapagos tortoises and have been able to isolate the ancient genetic code for their prehistoric for-runner in nine different species.To make a long, and complicated, story short, these researchers have been able to gather enough DNA from these living species of giant turtles to bring back an extinct species that once lived eons ago.
The mother of all giant turtles!
Now, I doubt that this extinct form of "Gamera" could breath fire, or fly by shooting flames out of it's shell, but we had better be safe than sorry.
Time to start building some Maser tanks.....or some other large scale weapons to fight off these things.
Just saying.....
Now in a related story, scientists in Italy are well into a program to bring back the Auroch, a form of giant cow species that went extinct in the 1600s.
Cows may not sound too terrifying, but you have to understand that the Auroch stood over 6 feet tall, at the shoulder, and weighed in at over a ton.
There are cave paintings all over the world that feature images of these giant bovines being hunted by our primitive ancestors......and they were dwarfed by these babies.
Undoubtedly the desire to resurrect a species of giant steak dinners is some sort of an attempt to stave off world hunger, but is it wise?
Likewise, why bring back giant turtles?
Didn't we learn anything from the writings of the late Michael Crichton?
"Chaos Theory" people, "Chaos Theory!"
How can you expect to understand how an extinct species will act or behave in our modern world?
If good old Saturday afternoon movies have taught us anything, it is that these giant turtles will undoubtedly attack Japan or some other populated area, and the monster sized cows will break loose and dine on us for a change.
It's never a good idea to start playing God......
Besides...I still want to see dinosaurs.
