...so how many preference points do I need?

I’m sure everyone saw this. How do you feel about it? They say they are working on bringing the wooly mammoth back too.

The Return of the Dire Wolf

Colossal Biosciences has genetically engineered the first dire wolf to live in over 10,000 years. Here's what that means for other extinct species.

Not good. Not good at all. You know what is coming, and it ain't extinct mammals.

Disagree, of all the stupid things the human race does on a daily basis I would put this in the top 5% "things we should do".

Not even close. Stupid, for sure but not even above the fold.

The only place of Dire Wolves in the modern world, in my opinion, is on a rifle.

Smilodon and Dire wolves on Auroch kill in tar pit. Vultures circling. The coolest engraving I have ever seen on any rifle. Not mine but oh how I dream...

It may get a lot worse soon. I have an 11-year-old grandson who is the world's greatest authority on everything dinosaur. Just ask him he'll tell you. Those paleontologists with their silly little PHDs aren't even fit to carry his lunch pail. He has informed me that he is going to build a real Jurassic Park, but with none of the mistakes they made in the movies.

He has even written a proposal to Elon Musk, asking for an investment of a billion dollars. To get started. He hasn't heard back yet, but I am sure the check is in the mail.

He's pretty determined. I'm a little scared.

There may be some hope though, he does seem a little distracted lately. By Mine Craft

Too busy asking themselves if they could, they didn't bother to ask if they should.

Is that an original engraving too? And I think it is supposed to be a scene from the La Brea tar pits, very cool.

I read the Time magazine article on it. Such a far out thing I don't even know what to make of it.

It is not factory, if that's what you mean. It is a custom, one of a kind, rifle. A Marlin of course. The photos I downloaded gun gun broker when it was on auction. As I recall, it's sold for about $5000 back in the 90s or early 2000s. I would have bought it if I could have afforded it at the time.

Very cool, what was on the other side?
