    Scientists in Harvard hope to bring dinosaurs back not by cloning but by reversing evolution, and they already managed to create chicken embryos that dont have a beak, but a gator-like snout.

    Unfortunately, or fortunately (depends on your view), these chicken-saurs are illegal to hatch so the experiment won´t, at least for the moment, go beyond the egg stage.

    I wish tinpot dictators were more interested in genetic engineering. In Cuba they'd have hatched those eggs and right now be training them as cavalry mounts.
