Not a very compelling sequel.

Jim@11 Let me know when you get them out of the airducts — I have a sushi chef who says the non-poisonous bits will make a lovely maki.

I keep thinking back to Oliver getting a chemistry set from his dad, and setting up a genetics lab in his bedroom.

Really. Go ahead.

Sooner or later somebody will figure out how to make them into hats for rich assholes, and they’ll be extinct in no time.

And that acid blood? I bet we could turn that into bio-diesel…hey, at $4.00+ a gallon, I’m willin’ to go into the air ducts after them. Who’s with me?
