Movies!

…specifically Jasper's new Movies section on the website. I just realized it was there, and it occurred to me that you all might appreciate being informed of its existence (unless, of course, you're all laughing at me for being the last to figure it out).

The thing I find particularly amusing is at a point about halfway through the second video, which is a publicity interview. Jasper is talking about all the extinct animals that have been cloned and as he says each thing ("dodos", "mammoths", etc.) a picture pops up behind him. Well, when he mentions "great auks" (an extinct water bird) a large green giant with spiky armor pops up instead. I'm assuming whoever cut the video wasn't really paying attention and thought Jasper said "great orcs"!

Yes, we wondered whether that was deliberate or a blooper.

Knowing what we do of the Double Consonantly One?

We had to do assignments on extinct fauna in primary school, and I always liked the birds (mostly coz they all looked cool) so I laughed myself silly about that one!
