Don't worry. I'll share. And that's a good thing, because here's some more awesome from 2009:
Scientists have discovered what they say is a completely unexpected new giant dinosaur that lived 70 million years ago in Argentina. Meet our new buddy, Austroraptor cabazai. He was the largest raptor ever known. I mean, five meters of raptor? That's a lot of massively predatory dinosaur coming for your tasty flesh, buddy. Thanks, Argentina! Also, as this is a totally new dinosaur -- relatively speaking -- it hasn't been on Primeval, and I'm allowed to have one. Hooray!
Oh, and also? The Black Death has reportedly killed at least forty al-Qaeda operatives in North Africa. Now, they're talking about bubonic plague here, which, as everyone knows by now, I do not believe was the cause of the Black Death. But they're so vague about the details that it could just be something cheerfully making itself look like the bubonic plague. PS: if this is actually the Black Death, and is actually a virus, rather than something bacterial, we're all going to die. So 2009 might also be the end of the human race.
I am okay with that, because this is awesome.

Hello, CDC? Yeah, we've got some autopsy volunteers here just lining up for you who would love to help you figure out how to inoculate the rest of the world against the Black Death. Send them packed in dry ice inside hermetically-sealed containers? UPS or FedEx? You got it.

So, is it bad luck, incompetence, or somebody dropping dead early? (Not to mention the half-dozen other possibilities that I missed.)

I recommend checking out the link about, which has, seriously, song lyrics aimed at proving my point, and reading The Return of the Black Death: The World's Greatest Serial Killer, which is a truly awesome book on the topic.

Excellent!
(Incidentally, about that---how vague is she being about this restriction? I mean, for example, if the sabretoothed cat on the show was, Smilodon fatalis, would that preclude you from getting, say, Smilodon populator?
Just a thought.

If you turn the temperature down you could hide the eggs in the water heater or something, until they hatch. After that, I guess you might have to clean out your closet for awhile.
