And the News of the World

Is anyone else super excited about the discovery of soft tissue in a 70 million-year-old Tyrannosaurus Rex bone? I can't get enough of it. And they think that it might actually be totally common, so now they're going to go around snapping dino femurs in half and extracting bouncy tissue and cloning dinosaurs and growing them on an island! Michael Crichton is probably squiffy with glee.

Maybe you haven't read about this, though. Maybe you've been too busy reading about this. I couldn't have thought up the response of the Wendy's spokesman; that was hilarious.
