    It's actually "Dinosaurs... eat man... woman inherits the earth." But you had the right idea and I've confirmed with the judges that you shall receive REPUTATION points from me, dear sir. :eek:

    Interesting.

    1. I wonder how it came up to pursue this line of research.
    "The achievement of two-father offspring in a species of mammal could be a step toward preserving endangered species, improving livestock breeds, and advancing human assisted reproductive technology (ART). It also opens the provocative possibility of same-sex couples having their own genetic children, the researchers note."

    Improving livestock? I don't think so. Advancing human Assisted Reproduction? BINGO! Playing God? BINGO?

    All I can say is . . . . . let the abuse begin!

    A fair question. Why not dogs? Or cats?

    They're physiologically similar to us in many ways, and they breed and die really fast.

    Pigs are even more similar. Researchers and cannibals have referred to pigs as the "horizontal man"

    The reach around this study will be a sight no one can ignore.

    I'm sure they probably do in other countries.

    But ya, Mice are the most frequently used mammals for testing purposes...
