So I started my biology class today and I have a bad taste in my mouth already, teacher in 50 minutes said that:

-We have already cloned a Dinosaur. They took a Wooly Mammoth embreo and crossed it with an Elephant.

Did I miss something? Mammoths and Dinosaurs are only seperated by 65 million years!!! Not to mention Dinosaurs are lizards!! UGH!

-Humanity is over due for another population crash. Our last one was 600,000 years ago.

WTF?! Humanity as we know it wasn't around 600,000 years ago! And we had a mass extinction like 40k years ago that knocked the race down to just 20 breedable females.

ZOMG! There's no hope for me at school or at work!

Wow. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. All I can say is... wow.

How the hell did someone like that get to be a teacher? Do you have inspections where you live?

Cloned a dinosaur....

She actually has a doctrine and was a medical doctor for about 15 years.

And where did she get the idea we had already cloned dinosaurs?

Jurassic Park of course - it's obvious that the film is a paragon of scientific accuracy.

Wait... I detect a note of sarcasm there.

*Gasp* Are you saying Jurassic park isn't scientifically accurate? Oh, no!

:p

Or maybe she saw Walking with Dinosaurs and assumed it was filmed in some new nature preserve?

Actually, a while ago they had a doccumentary style program that dealt with a nature reserve full of dinosaurs. It was quite interesting. Perhaps she got the idea from there? Although the CGI wasn't great so it was a bit obvious they were fake. Still...
