I see no possible way that this can go wrong

Hey! Let's bring a Neanderthal back to life!

Yeah, there's no possible unforeseen ramifications to that.

The only upside I can see (and that's with tongue firmly ensconced in an easy chair somewhere in the depths of my cheek) is that, with this tech, we can, eventually, clone up all those extinct or about to be extinct species so that we never have to hear from enviro-nuts ever again about how we're destroying the precious habitat of the many-chinned corpulent manbearpig and then people might go back to the top of the list as the most important creature on earth (not including the O!ne of course).

Of course, even if this were possible, the loons would then find a new religion to offer their bodies, minds (such as they are) and souls up to and, from there, continue to menace the rest of us apace.

2 Hey, they already brought back that extinct ibex so that's not too far off what the plans are.

I saw that movie, hell, I saw both sequels (I don't care what anyone says, JP III kicks ass). I know how this story ends.

3 Oh man, yes! Someone else that loves JPIII (best of the bunch, imo)! You can now make my (shallow) day complete by telling me you also love T3!

4 Cloning a large group of lower-intelligence people who are likely to have to feed from the public trough is just a way to increase the number of Democratic voters. Although since everyone thinks they're above menial labor thanks to the Internet boom, maybe it's a good idea to have Neanderthals running around so we have a large pool of slave labor (oh, don't tell me you didn't think of that too).

5 My god, people! Didn't anyone learn their lesson??? It was spelled out in "Encino Man," for God's sake!

(I was going to go with "Iceman" as the punchline, but I thought it would be too obscure)

6 Should we call him "Gorak" or "Steve"?

(paraphrasing) That's how it starts out, with ooh's and ahhh's; after that it's screaming and blood.

(ok, I couldn't remember exactly the quote from JP II, by Dr. Chaostheory guy... so sue me =)~ )

Dude, yes. I love that they had the balls to end it the way it had to.

9 OK, well, that means I can forgive you your dalliances with Michael Bay
