Austrian Felix Baumgärtner has just beaten Joe Kittingers altitude records for manned baloon flight and highest parachute jump and (confirmation pending) has also broken the sound barrier in free fall :shock: He jumped out of a baloon carried capsule at 128.000ft (39 km) of altitude, spent a bit over 4 minutes in free fall reaching speeds in excess of 1.100 kph (over 800 mph).

Just saw the whole jump live on TV. That was spectacular :o

My guess would be that juvenile herbivores would taste the best. Roast yearling hadrosaur. Yum, yum. Talk about fill the freezer, too.

I would think it would be kinda expensive to domesticate them, though. Can you imagine how many tons of foliage one of those things would eat? And you'd have to pasture them in a swamp and herd 'em with airboats.

Hey. That would be a great job for a Cajun. Once the scientists got the things cloned they could deposit them in south Louisiana, out by Pecan Island. Troy Landry's grandkids will get rich hadrosaur ranching. ;-)

:vulcan: I think I just came up with the plot for the next SciFi Channel movie of the week. Gotta go write a screenplay now....

The problem with Dino's is that they're reptiles. I've eaten both crocodile and snake and both weren't exactly finger-licking stuff, so I guess we won't see any Kentucky Fried Dino anytime soon 8)
