<p>I get that we need to study and experiment with things in our world but at what point does experimentation cross the line into <em>WTF</em>!</p>
<p>Well I think that line could be this one that has researchers trying to turn back the hands of time with chickens. Scientists have recently found that because chickens and alligators share a common ancestor from way back in some Cretaceous period of time that by using a special protein they can suppress certain genetic signalling processes that control the chicken&#8217;s anatomical development.</p>
<blockquote><p> Harvard researcher Arhat Abzhanov has been able to alter the development of chicken embryos so that instead of beaks, they grow snouts like alligators. Essentially, this is rewinding evolution, causing the chicken to genetically regress back to when all chickens were actually dinosaurs. With enough tweaking, Abzhanov hopes to eventually hatch one of these out of a modified chicken egg:</p>

<p>Really, do we need to go down this road?</p>

<p>I realize that home protection is a pretty big business with everything from bars on the windows to lockdown safe rooms.There are companies that will sell you the most modern of security alarm systems that are monitored 24 hours days just so you can feel a little safer.</p>
<p>However I don’t think that any of those ideas come even close to having a great big huge tank sitting in your garage for all the world to see. Never mind the AK-47 you have hiding behind the front door or the claymore mines littering the hallways. These all pale in comparison to that big gun pointing in your direction.</p>
<p>Now if a tank isn’t up your alley you could always go the route of having a fully fueled jet plane to chase their asses with.</p>
<p><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="jet" border="0" alt="jet" src="http://www.inquisitr.com/wp-content/jet.jpg" width="504" height="432" /> </p>
<p>Of course if you are more the type of using a vicious animal to keep unwanted guests away you could try this option out for size</p>
<p><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="alligator" border="0" alt="alligator" src="http://www.inquisitr.com/wp-content/alligator.jpg" width="504" height="433" /> </p>
</p>
<p>No of course between you an me we both know that none of these are real but rather some clever artwork done on weather resistant tarps that you can attached to the front of your garage, all courtesy of Style-Your-Garage.com</p>
<p>Gotta admit though they could be kind of fun to hang up and see the reactions of people as they walk by.</p>
