*promote-ing well hydrated kitties. I just make sure to flush before I go out for the day.

Chris Matthews always sounds like his mouth is filled with spit, like he can hock a loogie at any time. But I like my hosts well-hydrated...so he's OK.


Weird, I was going to comment that Bill should've asked Chris for one of his Jolly Ranchers. Well-hydrated indeed.

Lol, funny enough, this conversation was with a Marine buddy of mine and some friends. For some reason when drinking with any of my marines buddies, conversations always come down to poop.. or other such interesting things. =P

But when it comes down to the USMC, all I know is that is that I wouldn't be able to handle being in the USMC. I thought I could.. till I was told about "The Silver Bullet". The fact that I overheat when I pt on my own that if I were to go on a 6 mile hump in 92 degree weather and hydrated every 5 minutes I'd still pass out easy and the idea of gettin "The Silver Bullet".. *shivers* no thanks.. =P

Thanks. When we saw him last night, he seemed to be more hydrated than he was Sunday when we dropped him off. That's very promising.

From a brief look around, there would seem to be only one case of soft tissue from a dinosaur being found http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/03/0324_050324_trexsofttissue.html

Some soft tissue from inside the leg bone of a T-Rex. Which is pretty frigging amazing in my mind, they re-hydrated the stuff and could get out flexible, transparent material... stunning... stunning stuff to find from 65 odd million years ago.

But I was talking of a whole body like these Mammoths, being preserved... it'll never happen, and the things in La Brea tarpits are much more recent aren't they? Mammoth age and the like, Sabre Tooth tigers and the like, the age of man, not the age of Dinosaurs.

Still, amazing stuff... I guess since seeing Jurassic Park I've actually wanted to see it actually happen... minus the maiming and killing of course.

And also, you see that large one in the diarama they show near the end... that's a friggen real stuffed adult Mammoth.

Makes me wish there was a T-Rex or Brontosaurus frozen in permafrost somewhere than can be found... imagine actually finding a dinosaur with skin, organs etc... it'd be incredible.

There are actually quite a few dino fossils that have preserved tissue other than bone. There are some at the AMNH that have skin and partial internal organs intact; and I believe the La Brea tarpits in LA are home to some extremely well preserved tissues as well.
