The best part about the Emu War is how the wikipedia page has all the details recorded with the exhaustingly loving excess of detail so typical of military historians. Seriously, the article reads like one of the great conflicts of WWI with how much passion is put into it.
I like the section called The "war" with the old timey portrait.
Meredith's official report noted that his men had suffered no casualties, except for their dignity.
Lol
Well, the emus may have won the war, but they didn't manage to get any kill.
A win is a win.
More power to them, not everyone can do a successful pacifist run
Because the emus were playing 5D chess. Their diplomatic stonewalling is what ultimately won them the war.
Scientists who've seen the movie and still: Let's clone them and find out!
I mean…yeah, if we had a realistic way to find preserved dinosaur DNA and bring those bad boys back? I’d say do it in a heartbeat. Stupid? Absolutely. But worth it.
Sadly finding DNA that has survived intact for dozens of millions of years is impossible. 😭
Edit: I should say, not as old, but still. Also, we don't take care of our elephants, wtf are we going to do with a woolly mammoth.
Even if we could get a perfect DNA genome of a dinosaur, how would we go about getting the biological machinery that would've converted those blueprints into a living organism?
We can modify the genes of living animals by creating viable zygotes, growing them into viable embryos, and implanting them into living wombs, because we already have a factory that is configured to process blueprints of a very similar type.
We don't have the ability to rebuild a dinosaur factory, even if we get the dinosaur blueprints again.
Anything that accelerates the downfall of humankind is good in my book.
"don't build the torment nexus"
Well in the movie the ranger is being ambushed by the velociraptor, more like outwitted
