It is somewhat inspiring to see a 2000 year old seed from an extinct plant take root. They say that it's possible if they can continue reviving extinct plants, we may have a better chance of curing existing diseases. It's a very interesting idea. Of course, this was a one in a million long shot, but it paid off. I wonder if they can use this one plant to make others or if its line is going to be lost forever once it dies...
In other news, Gato(thats me) won $45 bucks in Texas Hold'em yesterday. :-)
