Baby Mammoth Found Intact

knoll99 writes "Scientists unveiled the discovery Wednesday of a baby mammoth found in the permafrost of north-west Siberia. The remains of the six-month-old female mammoth were discovered in a remarkable state of preservation on the Yamal peninsula of Russia in May, a Reuters report said. The specimen is believed to be the best of its kind to date."

some scrambled T-rex eggs, but then again I'm just that type of mutha fuckin balla.

Re:Tissue and fluids?

[lordofthechia]

have any of the articles mentioned how well the tissues, organs, and fluids are preserved?

More importantly, what does mammoth taste like? Could this be the new secret ingredient in Iron Chef?

Re:Tissue and fluids?

[geekoid]

I couldn't find any information on that. The article I read mentioned that they are looking into cloning it.

I hope the do so. I also hope it it purple with yellow spots, and smells like Green Apple flavored jolly ranchers.

That would be cool. it would also be a geneticist last day of work, but they would go down in history as the first great genetic prank.

More importantly...will it blend?

Clone! Clone! Clone!

In other news, Rosie O' Donnell still reported to be missing.

Criminologists believe that she may have been abducted, but a truck powerful enough to hold such capacity is not known to man.

obligatory Dr Stephen Colbert...

It seems the the Siberian mammoth population has tripled in the past 6 months...

clone it

[SolusSD]

clone it. clone it! clone it!! what good is all this "science" if we don't CLONE IT!!!

God must have put it there

God must have put it there just to drive fundamentalists crazy ;-)

Is that you ?

What the article didn't mention...

[heretic108]

...was the discovery, 5 metres away from the mammoth, of an inscribed granite slate. Archaeologists were set to work on translating the inscriptions, and came up with a bulletin with the headline:

Climate Change A "Myth"
Coming Ice Age a "Fabrication"
-- Energy Company CEO

In either case, the important question to be answered after having encountered the finest example of something we've never seen before is, "Will it Blend?" [willitblend.com]

*Note: I am not in any way affiliated with that site. I just want to see more crap go into blenders and be filmed.

Baby Mammoth Found Intact

except that it's dead...

A Mammoth?

A Mammoth? That's huge.

Re:They found it...

[Lithdren]

They found a frozen child in your pants?! Dear god someone contact the FBI.

Re:A Mammoth?

[Walt Dismal]

Technically, it's not a Giant Baby Mammoth but the Economy Size Baby Mammoth, which feeds between 4 to 6 caveman families. Keep frozen until use. Do Not Refreeze.

Oven Preparation Instructions:

1. Place on large spit.

2. Build really big fire.

3. Keep Ugg, Son of Hoogah and his Sister Dimbo, away from fire.

Microwave Preparation Instructions:

(Hey, do you think we're stoopid? Cavemen didn't HAVE microwaves. They only had rotisserie cookers.)

Microwave Mammoth NOT RECOMMENDED.

TFA has a typo, its 4000 years old not 40,000. The mammoth will soon take its rightful place next to the Jesus horses at the Creation Museum.

Wonderful for science but...

Will it blend?

(sorry, i just saw... never mind, my fault...)

Re:that's nothing,just wait

[Evilest Doer]

Although some may say it's not as accurate, or reliable, it definitely has a wider breadth of knowledge and obscure articles than any other encyclopedia I've ever seen.

Plus, it has the words "Don't Panic" enscribed in large, friendly letters on the cover.

More importantly, will it run Linux?

[HTTP Error 403 403.9]

I was concerned when I read that it was being shipped to Japan that they would consider eating it, what with their terrible track record of eating endangered animals.

I would be more concerned if this was found in China, they'd probably inject it with melamine, lead and diethylene glycol then ship it the U.S labeled as beef jerky.

On viewing the dead baby mammoth, Bill Clinton stated that he was impressed with its beauty, and wanted to have a date with it.

Re:They will come to us!

[Kadin2048]

The next intelligent species will find us and be amazed at how many human corpses they've found lying around next to an artifact with what seems to be a mice-shaped object in their hand. It might take them a while to guess what we were doing,

I think what it has in its other hand will be a significant clue.
