	Yay science! Edit: This is as good a thread as any to share this link I put in IRC. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2009/02/090210-bucardo-clone.html It's about the Pyrenean ibex, which went extinct in 2000. They successfully cloned it in January. It died shortly after birth, but it's still the first animal to be made un-extinct through cloning.

So technically, they made it extinct again through cloning.

	Yeah, I said that on IRC :3= <RJ> You know, I just noticed something. That Ibex that was cloned. It's not only the first animal to become un-extinct, it's also the first animal to become extinct, made not extinct, and then become extinct again. :3= <yayo> deeehehe <yayo> you're right. ^^

That's cruelty to the species! They're toying with the species, pretending to make it seem like they were going to resurrect it.

Btw, in exact opposite of what was declared in the article: Jurrasic Park!

	Lies. Darwin is a talking dolphin who lives on a giant submarine.

	That probably would be because of the Alien Planet show that was on Discovery once. The made up planet was named Darwin IV. Either that or you read Expedition.
