Who is that actress? She’s so familiar, but I can’t place her. Google isn’t helping.

Also, Jesus Frikkin’ Christ, when are we going to stop trying to engineer our way out of the problems we create? Want more sturgeon? Protect sturgeon, ban caviar, prosecute poachers. This is how you get grass carp in the Great Lakes. They should have their scientist license revoked.

Mine was suspended for 6 months, and all I did was scrape a bunch of sparklers to get the potassium nitrate.

EDIT: oh, and I once attended a family T-day dinner where they had a turducken. I imagine these scientists are going to try to breed one of those soon.

If it were a strudelfish, I would hope it tasted like Danish pastry.

We’re not sure about the first one or two, but the next 90-odd were definitely accidental.
