      Henry Wu : Actually they can't breed in the wild. Population control is one of our security precautions. There's no unauthorized breeding in Jurassic Park.

      Dr. Ian Malcolm : How do you know they can't breed?

      Henry Wu : Well, because all the animals in Jurassic Park are female. We've engineered them that way.

    I'm Hungry. I saw this before reading the title. It looks like a top view of a taco. That looks really tasty. Then I realized this was not a taco and I have brought much shame upon my family.

            Maybe find a place that can make you a

            Loro Loco

            Which is

            Chicken breast with shrimp, tomatoes, onions, peppers, zucchini, topped with cheese dip. Served with rice and beans.

            Or

            Loro Lindo

            Chicken, steak and shrimp, served on a bed of rice, red and yellow peppers, topped with cheese dip sauce.

            BTW it's almost noon where I'm at

    Earlier this month, the California Department of Food and Agriculture quarantined 69 square miles of metro L.A. after invasive and destructive Mediterranean fruit flies were found at a home in the Leimert Park neighborhood.

    Now, officials are planning to use small planes to drop millions of the insects in an effort to eradicate them, SFGATE reports.

          Don't let movies do your thinking for you. This is an effective eradication method that has been used successfully for many years.

        Lmao just saw ppl downvoting me. I was providing MORE context than the title because I was curious. What I pasted wasn't "scary" to me and of course they aren't going to just going to release a fuckton of fertile bugs to "eradicate" another bug.

        Yall are daft.
