Because this worked so well in Jurassic Park.

Which I must now watch since I've mentioned it.

But really? Sure, let us resurrect a long extinct species that was alive during an ice age into the present age of even more global warming and radical climate change since that had absolutely no factor on that species extinction in the first place.

In 2008, they succeeded in this exact cloning procedure with mice, so this isn't even going to be done in a "lets see if we can do it way." They already know they can.

I just figure they can spend their time bringing back some animal that more recently went extinct.

	But the robot could foresee the possibility of death by resurrected Mammoth and prepare for being stepped on YEARS in advance. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes because the preprogramed Jeopardy robot has AI that advanced. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cloning is no short process...what with having to knock up a lady elephant and hope she can carry the thing to decently full term. That Jeopardy robot has time to learn. It has already mastered humor, Doug! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I feel like this would start an internet meme somehow. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Doug. What are you talking about? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A mammoth would beat a jeopardy playing robot simply by stepping on it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	But why? (Mammoths are cute by the way! If they're like the dude from Ice Age.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_babelfish 2011-01-18 08:24 pm UTC (link)
	Because it's big and heavy. (They are also extinct and probably shouldn't be cloned and resurrected. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dazzlerific 2011-01-18 08:32 pm UTC (link)
	No, no... but why are you talking about this? (Probably not.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_babelfish 2011-01-18 08:34 pm UTC (link)
	Because some Japanese researcher want to clone the mammoth and Madison found the Jeopardy robot. It's like the astronaut/caveman debate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is this like... pirates vs. ninjas? Or, or! Or the Beatles vs. the Stones??? I still think that mammoths are cute! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_babelfish 2011-01-18 08:40 pm UTC (link)
	Ninjas beat pirates, because the pirates are likely drunk and ninjas are sneaky. But who wins in a fight a caveman with all it's brute strength and doesn't hold backness or an Astronaut with the intelligence of modern humans? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dazzlerific 2011-01-18 08:43 pm UTC (link)
	I dunno - I have no opinion in this matter... Are they fighting bare knuckle? Does the Astronaut use a weapon? Now answer my question - The Beatles or the Stones?? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_babelfish 2011-01-18 08:46 pm UTC (link)
	Bareknuckle. Strength vs. Strategy. The Stones. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hm... I'm not sure that's accurate, but OK. Huh. I didn't now you had it in you. That's a totally respectable answer, Dougily-Wougily! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Because it's annoying and so not right. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	D; Annoying? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_babelfish 2011-01-18 09:05 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, because it's not my name. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was only poking a little fun, I didn't mean anything by it. :( If it makes you feel any better I've got a friend who calls me 'sparkles' and I hate it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
