I always thought "Jurassic Park" was a stupid name considerin most of the dinosaurs in that movie were Cretaceous.

For more than a century, the study of dinosaurs has been limited to fossilized bones. Now, researchers have recovered 70-million-year-old soft tissue, including what may be blood vessels and cells, from a Tyrannosaurus rex.
If scientists can isolate proteins from the material, they may be able to learn new details of how dinosaurs lived, said lead researcher Mary Higby Schweitzer of North Carolina State University.

What else can be discovered when we stop making materialistic assumptions about the universe?

Dino-jerky.
(NOTE: for the most part "soft tissues" were never searched for under the presumption that almost all of them had rotted shortly after the animal died and that fossilization processes didn't serve to preserve more than a few "images". What we have here is a fossilization process that preserved the tissues, although not exactly the same way they were in life. This is not, as it were, preserved meat!)
If they can do DNA analysis, I predict that it will show that birds did not evolve from dinosaurs. Of course they won't admit that, they will just say "the unknown common ancestor is further back in time than the 120 million years that we thought."
If you'd ever spend some time engaged in conversations with the birds you'd know right off that they are dinosaur descendants.
Jurassic Jerky
Little birdie told ya?

What really has scientists puzzled is that the soft tissue matches a DNA sample take from Hillary Clinton during her last ugly surgery in 2001.
Lucky dinosaur ... where they able to reattach it?

Victim of a Lorenabobbitasaur?
Mad Magazine called it "Jur-ass-has-had-it Park"
Damn it! I tried to think of a Bobbit reference but couldn't ... good call!
Does create a bit of a problem, doesn't it?
rofl!
This is best accomplished by those who are "Bird Brains". I doubt you qualify, however the fellow who suggested it seems to possess the ideal IQ for such dialoguing.
