Pig: What do you have there, Goat? Goat: Amber. It's sixty-million-year-old resin that's become fossilized with this little mosquito stuck in it. Mosquito: Help. Goat; That part's a bit of a downer.
A downer indeed! No 60000000-year old mosquito is going to cry out “Help.” So the mosquito must be younger than the amber. How he got into it is the real question here!

And after 60,000,000 years, the little fly (what “mosquito” really means in Spanish) is still talking. How flabbergasting.

Phatts about 10 years ago
while you guys argue over irrelevancies like “science” and stuff, that poor mosquito is going to suffocate! Somebody take an axe to that amber! STAT!

I’ve never liked amber. I just think it looks horrible. Especially when it’s worn as jewellery.xxx

And now to wait for part of your insides to be taken away by scientists in a desperate bid to clone dinosaurs.
