Life Finds a Way on eBay

I try to stay away from eBay lest I spend all my hard-earned income trying to complete my Weebles collection. But those of you with more controlled spending habits might want to browse the auctions for some major scientific discoveries. An entomologist named Dr. Richard Harrington bought a piece of amber with an insect trapped inside not thinking it would be anything more than a fancy paperweight or something to slip in someone's cocktail as a party prank. But he discovered that the insect is actually a previously unknown species of aphid. Congratulations, Dr. Harrington! Now all we need to do is extract its DNA, fire up the Clone-o-Matic and get to work building an elaborate theme park which will ultimately destroy itself in an action-packed warning against scientific hubris.
