Or Jurassic Park 4: Hey, Isn’t that Crocodile Dundee over there? Being

Bitchin’

protein wisdom has just learned that it’s been named The People’s Republic of Seabrook Site of the Day. Thanks, People’s Republic people! Let’s see that Wil Wheaton guy top this, is all I’ve got to say. (Phasers set to…dork)
