  1. This is not totally unexpected when you use both the egg and the sperm from Hillary Clinton.

  2. I think an example of what could possibly go wrong was shown below yesterday under “performance art”.

  3. So they have nothing better to do than develope unnatural freaks? Maybe they could use their brains and develop a cure for ALS or all forms of cancer.

  4. I think they should go ahead with this just to find out what the things taste like.

  5. This doesn’t bother me one bit. They’re chickens, which we raise billions of per year to kill and eat. And who know? Perhaps the knowledge of gene manipulation gained from doing this one day yield some insight into curing or preventing ALS and cancer, which both have a genetic component.

  6. Nothing particularly surprising about this. The DNA resemblances between modern avians and dinosaurs are pretty well established. But this bit is just plain wrong:
    “Sixty-five million years ago, an asteroid is believed to have crashed into Earth.”
    There’s no ‘belief’ about it. The Xicxulub crater is precisely established, both in terms of its extent, the time of impact, and the total energy release. Not to mention the Cretaceous upper boundary discontinuity, which is global in distribution.

  7. It taste like chicken..
    Similar to that of small feathered dinosaurs like Velociraptor.

    Oh Shit,
    News Headlines:
    ‘Fat Ass Human Being just run over and killed by a freaking Large Chicken.’

  8. I’m sorry … WHY ? So you can “understand” the genetic deviation that created bird beaks ? So to “learn” this, you simply “turned-off” the chicken’s “beak-gene” string ? How is flipping this switch going to explain how the lightbulb works ? Really ? … REALLY ?? Tell me this was just a bull-sheet way to extend your Dino-DNaaaaay research Grant $$$
    Haven’t we read this book (seen this movie) already ? That NO cure for Alzheimer’s is ever discovered … nope … just some FREAK-fil-a chickens who interbreed with millions of factory-hens unleashing a FREAK SHOW of nature that ends with the total destruction of the species ?
    PLEASE ! for the love of GOD !! Take. the. Grant. $$$. away. from. Dr. Fraankensteen.

  9. anybody see the flic ‘O Lucky Man’ with whatsisname the british bloke, Malcolm McDowell?
    there’s a scene he’s in a top secret gubbamint research facility and some hapless whatever is in bed shivering and not speaking, he throws the blanket aside and lo, wots dis?? head of a human and body of a pig.
    the film came out in the 70s. how prescient.
    we are men of schiensh and we know what ish right and correct and worth shdudy.

  10. Relax everybody, at least this scientist doesn’t claim “the science is settled”.

  11. I saw that movie on Turner Classic Movies a few months ago. The only thing I liked about it was seeing a very young Helen Mirren in one of her earliest roles.

  12. Why don’t chickens wear underwear???
    Because their pecker is on their face!

  13. Sounds delicious, I had no idea. Have seen an ostrich’s egg being cooked in a rather large frying pan on TV show long ago. Could feed a whole baseball team scrambled eggs just with one egg.

  14. What is the world coming to? Next thing you know they’ll clone a liberal with brains?

  15. Why did the PETA member cross the road?
    Because something something stuck in the chicken.
    Come to think of it, is the member of a PETA member a PETA member?

  16. I think that you are tied with Gopher for thread winner. Although that particular cloning will take some superhuman effort.

  17. ……and then there is this idea of unitended consequences.
    In biological engineering those can be monumental and unexpected.

  18. YEAH!!! And what’s the deal with all of them telescopes?! Who cares about stuff up in the sky? What does that have to do with Earth stuff? And while we’re at it… who cares about all them that tiny particles? Who’s to say they even exist? And they’re certainly too small to be of any use!!!

  19. A man approached the window of a movie theater with a chicken on his shoulder and asked for two tickets.
    “Who’s the other ticket for?” the ticket girl asked.
    “For my pet chicken.” He said, pointing to the bird.
    “I’m sorry,” the girl tells him, “but we don’t allow animals in the theater.”
    The man walked around the corner of the building, and stuffed the chicken into his pants. He returned to the ticket window and bought a ticket, entered the theater, and sat down.
    The chicken started to get too hot, so the man, figuring it was okay because it was dark to unzipped his pants and let the chicken stick its head out.
    The woman seated next to him looked down in horror. She nudged her friend Amanda and whispered, “Amanda! This man next to me just unzipped his pants!”
    Amanda replied, “Oh, don’t worry about it. Just ignore him. If you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all.”
    The woman whispered back, “I know, I know, but this one’s eating my popcorn!”

  20. Just watch this will turn out to be another hoax. Just like all the supposed ape men. almost every month you can count on another scam on the public.

  21. “Just like all the supposed ape men.”
    You will start respecting your PM at once.

  22. And tell me exactly WHAT I said that would lead to your suggestion that I am anti-science ? Are you suggesting that ANY AND ALL “science” is worthy … regardless of how flimsy ? And that ALL “science” deserves taxpayer funding ?
    Haven’t we learned ANYTHING from the zealous pursuit of “proving” Global Warming … rejecting all science to the contrary … by Zealots dedicated to a singular result ? And despite -0- experimental proof of their theory … these “scientists” persist in their “belief”. Do you honestly believe that the Global Warming “scientists” would still “cling” to their beliefs (like Christians who “cling” to their bibles and guns) … if government funding suddenly dried-up like an AGW induced CA drought ?
    Atomic particles are REAL … because we can “see” them -repeatedly- in laboratory experiment. Scientists built the Stanford Linear Accelerator (and now that big donut-shaped one in France) to smash these “invisible” particles into one another. You might want to take note that Atomic scientists didn’t just create endless computer models to “prove” the existence of quarks and muons … ! No … they actually PROVED they exist by direct observation. You sound like someone whose science knowledge never passed the 6th grade.
