Science Brings Back Horrible Freak Frog. Great.

Scientists have brought an extinct frog back to life. Great. Some sciency guys in Australia called The Lazarus Project have recreated the genome of a frog that went extinct back in 1983 along with disco and casual sex. The frog they picked was a terrifying freak of nature. The gastric-brooding frog incubated its shorties in their stomachs and gave birth through their mouths. Ew. I can see why we wouldn't want to lose that completely horrifying and disgusting creature from the planet. The scientists have been able to implant the cells in the egg of a similar frog species and are pretty sure they will soon be able to have the GBF puking up offspring in the near future.

I'm sorry, am I the only one who saw Jurassic Park? If there is one thing I know for certain is that bringing extinct lifeforms back to life leads to certain death. Sure, a tadpole spewing amphibian is a far cry from a velociraptor but it's only a matter of time. Next thing you know something is going to wrong with the experiment and a giant mutant version of the frog will burst out of its terrarium and start shooting killer ninja frogs out of its mouth like a water level boss in a Legend of Zelda game. I don't want to fight my way through death spawn spitting frogs. My life is complicated enough already.
