Jan 15 2008
BBC
Scientists in the US say they have created a genetically-engineered carrot that provides extra calcium.
Is there anything 21st century super-science can't do!?

just get a pet reptile. At the end of the day, dinos were reptiles, so a lizard or some shit is close enough, and easire to manage. You have to remember, they are shit though.

I don't want a tiger godammit I want a dinosaur 
Anyway, that's already been done in Scarface, and I'm so not sharing killer animals with Mike Tyson.

Patience Saii, you'll get your pet dinosaur someday. I'd like to think there's taxpayers' money being wasted on cool shit like that somewhere.

Why not just eat calcium rich foods? Still I suppose its better than funding animal testing.

Eh, now the carrots will be calcium-rich, so if you like carrots, you could eat them.

Yeah, but if you like them now you'd eat them regardless of them lacking alot of calcium.

Most (non junk food) vegans are fine on calcium. Same with the 'other two' protein and iron.
Interestingly enough there is a strong correlation between a high consumption of dairy products and weak bone structure, both in individual countries and in cross-country studies.

I was thinking of getting a reptile! 
In what way are they shit; sounds like you are talking from experience here?
And yeah they gotta be easier to manage than a fully-grown dino but then what wouldn't be? 
If peeps kept pet dinos houses and gardens would have to be so huge.....only for the elite!

Remember that grpah I done, I mean that scientific survey I conducted, on pet-type ownership and relation to wankerness?
Well, reptiles fell into the "exotic/twat animals" category I'm afraid.

Excellent. People should communicate solely in graph form
Dinosaurs. Until I can have a pet dinosaur, they still have a lot of work to do.
Get to it scientists!
