By the time we're able to create dinosaurs, if that ever happens, I'll be long gone...I'm sure.
Cloning mega dinos would be so cool. I wouldn't worry about the feces, because it could be used as fertilizer.
When dinos were here, the feces were broken down after time just like any other waste from animals.
I'm going out of town this weekend to a field museum. I'm really excited. The last time I was there they had a full size T-Rex fossil. When I took a look at the real head, I was so amazed. It was huge, and the teeth had to be well over 6 inches long. The presentation was really good, and they said that paleontologist believe that the T-Rex spent a lot of it's time with it's body parallel to the ground. I loved Jurassic Park, but I hardly think a real T-Rex could have kept up with a Jeep. I guess that was to make the movie more exciting. It's pretty easy to tell how fast they could have traveled based on animal body forms today. They weren't that fast. Then again I could be wrong, I wasn't around when they were here.
Oh, and I'm looking forward to seeing the exhibit on our solar system and beyond too.
Another good DNA fictional movie was "The Fly". The computer got confused and fused a fly's DNA with a man's DNA. Of course that would never happen.
Though biologist are now deciphering the DNA record to locate the instructions that make the different species of flies, it's so different in humans, because the protein coding stretches of DNA make up a very small amount of our genome, so our genes are really like little islands of information.
When your husband isn't watching the NBA, a great DVD to pick up is Creatures of the Abyss. I think that's the name. I'll have to double check though.
