Scientist at Oxford says we could actually make Jurassic Park

Source - Dinosaurs could be brought back to life...using the DNA of birds.

In an echo of Jurassic Park, experts believe identifying and altering certain genes found in the DNA of modern birds would mean genomes of the prehistoric creatures could be engineered 20 million years after they died out.

Oxford biochemist Dr Alison Woollard says it would be theoretically possible to recreate species through the DNA...

Is this possible? I don't mean what the scientists are saying. I mean could we make a Jurassic Park and have it be safe? Now before you jump down my throat just think about it. Obviously it would have to be on an island, and obviously it you couldn't bring back any dino's that could fly. We have enclosures that control silver back gorillas. Who are quite smart and insanely strong. I just think we could extrapolate that a bit and make something intense enough to contain an T Rex. If you die, sorry, you signed a waiver. Is it worth it to see one in person? For some people, no doubt. 

Also do people know that velociraptors are tiny? Like the size of a chicken. The movie portrayal is a gross exaggeration. So rattling. I would beat the shit out of one of those things before they could say its just her reflection in whatever language they were speaking. 

PS My history teacher used to whistle this song when he got to class in high school. 

PPS This is the best acting I've ever seen 

Take this quiz, it will place you in your hometown

Pretty cool quiz actually. I didn't do so hot considering it said I was from Detroit, but for everyone else I've seen it was dead on. I don't know, I guess I don't sound like I'm from Boston. I like the quiz the most to see that shit other people say who don't live in New England. It's like they are speaking another language. How I am supposed to understand someone from the mid west when they sound like a less evolved human being? There's English, then there is English. In New England, we speak the latter. 

Injuries in football are out of control

Sorry to talk about the Pats here but after we kicked the shit out of the champs, packed up the car, put the keys in the ignition, and started the drive to New Jersey today I just have to comment on the injuries. Every team gets bit by the injury bug, but the Pats are feeling it at a historic level. Watching Vereen and McCourty go down for, knowing us, probably the rest of the year it makes me wonder how we can even field a team for the playoff run. I'm not worried, I would still go to war with only #12 on the field, but at some point it gets a little ridiculous.

You know what really grinds my gears

I hate it SO much when DBs start swagging out after an incomplete pass when in reality they got burned and had nothing to do with the play. 

Saw this gem in the Miami Buffalo game today. Stop waging your finger Mutombo style. Robert Woods is nude. You're a good 3 yards behind him. Do your fucking job.

What Christmas would be like if men and women switched roles

Girls are such a disaster. Both girls in real life, and girls trying to imitate men. Was that a football game they were watching? I watch basketball on Christmas Day babe. Well played on the mistletoe over my dick though. Guilty.

PS Is football the most obvious sport to guess what people are watching if you can't see the tv, only their reactions? I would love to do a quiz about that. My initial guess is football 1, baseball 2, basketball 3, hockey 4. But maybe they are all easy?

Steve Martin has to apologize for kinda racist tweet

Source - Steve Martin has apologized for making a racist joke on Twitter. On Friday, the actor and comedian was engaging in a back-and-forth with followers about grammar, using their questions to make wisecracks. 
When one person asked Martin, “Is this how you spell lasonia?” the star replied, “It depends. Are you in an African-American neighborhood or at an Italian restaurant?”


It's mind blowing to me the shit people make a big deal out of. This is like a bed time story compared to the hate people spew on twitter 24/7. But that's beside the point because he is a celebrity and always being scrutinized. My real question is what is the line between something that is just true and something that is racist? If I were to say, black people are typically more athletic than white people, or say asian people are worse drivers, and I can back them up statistically does that make me racist? And I'm not racist, I have black friends. (classic you actually are prejudice line) I feel like it shouldn't, I'm just saying things that are true. And if I know anything to be true, its that black people tend to have crazy spellings of shit. Dwyane, Anferny, d'brickashaw? There's a  student in my friend's 2nd grade class named "La-La" but it's pronounced Ladashla. 

It was just a joke, and it's true. It's called comedy. Look it up. 

D Wade proposes to Gabrielle Union, gives her a million dollar engagement ring

Source - Every kiss begins with ... an engagement ring that costs MORE THAN MOST PEOPLE MAKE THEIR WHOLE FRICKIN' LIVES -- if you're Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade, that is.

Dwayne popped the question Saturday night with an 8.5 carat cushion cut diamond ring (pictured below) made by go-to celeb jeweler Jason of Beverly Hills ... and TMZ has learned it goes for nearly 1 million bucks.



I am ignorant so I seriously don't know the answer to this. Do women continue to wear their engangement ring after they get married? Or is it just a filler until the wedding ring? If that is the case I feel like this is setting the bar waaaaaaay too high. Think of the other things you could get for a million dollars. Wouldn't you two, as a couple, benefit from using that money on almost anything else than on a ring she will lock in jewelry box on the dresser? It's not a pissing contest, Dwyane.

That being said:

I'm pretty sure the engagement ring is three months salary. So I guess in reality D Wade is a cheap mother fucker more concerned with piling up his bills than making his woman happy.
