dino-chicken

[Blue Skys]

Did anyone see 60 minutes last night? They were interviewing a scientist who has been making all sorts of breack through discovery's on dinosaurs. He said that in 5 years he knows he will be able to make a Dino-chicken. A chicken that has teeth, a long tail, and small front legs instead of wings. He said it's just a matter of switching a gene on or off. An example he gave of the gene switching was that an embryo grows a long tail, only until a gene turns on that stops the growth and dissolves the tail away, so if he turned off that gene, the baby chick would hatch with a longer tail.

Weird stuff...

Let us not fear the dino-chicken.

Nay, if you want TRUE terror, imagine this:

Dino-GEESE

Ah I missed it. It sounds interesting. I'll check out their website.

I saw the intro and then got distracted. I'm easily distracted.... oh look at the cookie on the counter.

I saw that, Pretty cool stuff, although I'm not sure I want Dino chickens on the loose.

Think about the predator that breaks into that coop.

That was my main concern, is what happens when they are somehow released from whatever laboratory they are made in...

Poor, unsuspecting racoon...

Yum, that cookie was good. Sorry I didn't share.

LOL - raccoon thinks he's found dinner.... only the tables are turned.

Can you imagine trying to collect eggs from a broody one of those?!?

Think of roosters with teeth and arms!

Just cause we can doesnt mean we should


If they make one thats cool.. but lets not breed an army

 

[The Chicken People]

Now that would be scary!
