You can bring back one extinct species - what do you choose?

Well, if you’re doing complex genetic manipulation anyway, why not plug those genes into a narwhal? They’d sell like hotcakes (uh, magical hotcakes?) if you gave out a free tusk with each baco-narwhal sold.

That sounds like a good idea now, but how will you feel if he beats you at chess?

I’ve got to go back to the first paragraph and vote for a Velociraptor.
Actually the Deinonychus was bigger so I’ll go with that. Then I’ll take him to work and when that annoying guy in the cube next to me talks to his friends on speaker phone I’ll give the command word and . . . slice and dice.

The only accounts seem to be in the context of a vaccine-autism story.

Or, reading the comments, it could have been the electric currents. Or fluoride in the water…

Making my campsite safe from velociraptors would definitly add adventure to camping.

But how would you go about doing this? If the answer is “with more velociraptors” I’m on your side!

I’d bring back Utahraptor. Then I’d take it over to Randall Munroe’s* house, justto see the look on his face.

*see mouseover

…Dude, I wouldn’t joke about that, don’t you know a raptor stole his laptop*?

And lastly, my roommates got me a RoboRaptor for Christmas, some sort of mini version of the popular toy you see everywhere. And I can’t help but notice that during the burglary it sat on the shelf and did nothing but watch. Fucking raptors. I guess it should have at least served as a reminder to never let ground-level windows go unsecured.
