Have you ever wondered what it would be like to ride your own Battle Mammoth? Using your magnificent steed’s tusks to gore and rip at those who oppose you? Those who would fight truth, justice, fairness and the vagabond way? Well dream no more my friend, for RIKEN, a genetics lab in Japan, is having great successes in the fields of cloning long frozen & damaged cells.

Sure, it may only be mice at this time, but soon we shall have Siberian Tigers, Woolly Mammoths, and the great Dodo. (No, not you Mr. President, I meant the Dodo Bird, no, seriously, I’m not calling you a Dodo or a bird, I’m not British, sheesh, shut up! Stop talking! That’s it, I’m going back behind the bookshelf after this post, and won’t return until they elect a new president.. Oh, they did? Maybe I should pay attention some time?)

Even better, they can reproduce! So, if your entire family is inadvertently killed by the Robot Overlords, then you can replace them 100% now, and even have them reproduce, creating additional non-cloned children (Results may vary.)

Unfortunately at this time, it has not been proven to be able to recover damaged cells, or aid in the reproducing of hair follicles for those with thinning hair.

Lastly, there is no more need to take care of the environment if we can just recreate entire populations and house them in frozen tundras.
