Completely Sound and Logical

This has been making the rounds, but I couldn't pass it up, it's just too awesome. Here's the headline:

Scientist is Very Serious and Wants to Make a Dinosaur.

"Hans Larsson, the Canada Research Chair in Macro Evolution at Montreal's McGill University, said he aims to develop dinosaur traits that disappeared millions of years ago in birds."
"Larsson believes by flipping certain genetic levers during a chicken embryo's development, he can reproduce the dinosaur anatomy, he told AFP in an interview."
"Though still in its infancy, the research could eventually lead to hatching live prehistoric animals, but Larsson said there are no plans for that now, for ethical and practical reasons -- a dinosaur hatchery is "too large an enterprise." - physorg.com

Larsen says he got the idea after talking to some dude who served as tech adviser for Jurassic Park the Movie.

Christmas just came early kids! I've already started building a jungle in my backyard for me and Laser to play in. Yes, I'm naming my dinosaur Laser because he's that awesome.

Is this not AWESOME?

Are smart babies dangerous?

Did I get ripped off as a kid? Did my parents restrict my learning capabilities? Maybe, I don't remember. But I do know that my kid will not miss out on the knowledge that Z = Zombie. The next time the teacher in kindergarten class ask what starts with Z, my kid will be the first to answer, and I can tell you it won't be zoo or Zachary.

These blocks are exceptionally designed to teach Geeklings about the kinds of things one might encounter as a Mad Scientist. The set is made up of five handmade blocks that contains six sides of creative artistry. The detailed illustrations of the laser engraved images are flawlessly rendered to represent the key mad scientist memes that would correspond to each letter in the alphabet. The blocks are made out of American maple wood and are chemical free. We also must add that they smell amazing. The fragrance reminds us of a clove/vanilla scented wood burning fireplace. But not just any fireplace, but the kind of fireplace inside a Freeze Ray protected Underground Lair on a rogue island populated by Henchmen and Zombies, where plans for World Domination are being carefully plotted using copious amounts of Caffeine and Maniacal Robots… (ThinkGeek)

A complete list of the images represented by the letters is as follows:

A - Appendages B - Bioengineering C - Caffeine D - Dirigible E - Experiment F - Freeze ray G - Goggles H - Henchmen I - Invention

J - Jargon K - Potassium L - Laser M - Maniacal N - Nanotechnology O - Organs P - Peasants (with Pitchforks) Q - Quantum physics R - Robot

S - Self-experimentation T - Tentacles U - Underground Lair V - Virus W - Wrench X - X-Ray Y - You, the Mad Scientist of Tomorrow Z - Zombies

Is this not AWESOME?

Ps. Billy Jean by Michael Jackson was playing in my earphones when I posted this blog.
