In this month's WIRED magazine, that bible of all things new and electric, there was an interesting bit for those of us who loved dinosaurs at one time or another.
In a story about what we can expect from cutting-edge technology in the first half of the century, amid the various predictions regarding the curing of cancer and enormous supercomputers came the views of Oxford University's Professor of Public Understanding of Science Richard Dawkins on the reviving of dinosaurs.
"[We might be able] by 2050 to reconstruct the genome of a generalized dinosaur," he said. "We could perhaps implant the genome in an ostrich egg to hatch a living, breathing, terrible lizard... JURASSIC PARK notwithstanding, my only anxiety is that I am unlikely to live long enough to see it."
