Dinosaur soft tissue...FOUND!
2005-03-24, 5:38 PM #41
I would love to get a Raptor as a pet.... People have tigers as pets, so why not..it's not like they are satan spawns and can't be tamed.... I would get a Raptor and take it to the vet to be de-clawed. Then I would have them file it's teeth, or cap them with rounded caps. just incase... ;)

No -- just puppies. ;)

raptors suck, dynonichus (sp?) is what I would want. It is like a big super raptor.

And I didn't say they should let it develop to adulthood. In fact, I'm pretty sure it would be unable to fully mature, or perhaps even live at all. The earth's atmosphere has changed a lot in the past 65 millions years. But even a dinosaur fetus would tell a lot about the creature, and perhaps about evolution in general.


then again, if it picks up the traits of the ostrich for breathing present-earth air and grows a more ostrich-ish system for that...

haha or like in evolution(the movie) how they keep dieing and eventually they can breath and theres a trail of dead crap behind it. haha... just keep cloning it off the one that died and sooner or later it would adapt. or maybe that's just a movie. ahem.

Yeah, I don't think it would work like that, Cazor.

like it said... movie.

In Jurassic Park, they didnt simply clone the dinosaurs. They genetically modified them as well, to be a bit faster and more agressive than they actually were. So what was being protrayed wasnt really even attempting to be realistic, at least as far as the science of Dinosaurs is concerned.

We'll see if you're still saying that when a compy bites off one of your testicles.

well, for your logic KOP_Snake, then people shouldn't own pet snakes for the same reason....

Could you imagine how cool it would be to see a /rea/ dinosaur?

I dont care which type.

That would be amazingly brilliant.

Ummmm... no compys are a little bit more quick and can JUMP. And by quick I mean they can run you down, im not talking about one strike at a short distance. Didn't you see the 2nd Jurrassic Park? The guy could have totally outran a bunch of snakes.

By my logic, just when you think they are so nice and cute, they bite off your fingertip. People dont own pet snakes because they are "cute". There are many other reasons they may own them, but if they say "its because they are cute" then they are going to get a few raised eyebrows their way. 0_o

Compies are also scavangers, not predators, so they will not attack a healthy target. JP II messed this up a bit.
2005-03-24, 11:21 PM #56
Um, you can't really make assumptions of compy behavior based on Jurassic Park. Especially the movies. In the book, however, the only time compy's attacked a human was when Hammond tripped down the hill and broke his ankle.

would this perhaps imply that dinosaurs are not quite as old as the scientific world has assumed?


I detect subtle creationist overtones! No, sorry, this is another solid blow against the creationist claim that fossil evidence is 'flawed' in proving the existance of dinosaurs, and the age of the Earth.

KOP_Snake, well if we are judging how things move by the way they are portrayed in movies, then snakes are the most dangerious and fast things on the planet.... we all saw how fast that snake grabbed that guy when he was falling off of the waterfall in "Anaconda"

If it's true (I'm beginning to think it is, even though I'd like it confirmed by a few magazines apart from the nytimes), I doubt that they could extract any 'living' dna from it...

Yes, but not for the reasons you think it is.

Edit: confirmed by nature.com (but still, April 1st is really close)

And how did you make this judgement? Are you some kind of expert in the field?
2005-03-26, 5:28 PM #71
I really don't think humans should be allowed to clone anything until they learned these things do have consequences. :rolleyes: I think people as a whole would just ruin it...dinoburger anyone? :p

If Tenshu thinks I'm a creationist (at least in the sense that the scientific community uses the word), he hasn't been paying much attention to anything I've ever said.

No, but I do know that you have an agenda when it comes to science.

Look, if I'm wrong in this I apologize. I think I know your views well enough though to see through that 'interesting'. Again if not, my apologies.
