...short answer is no. The slightly longer answer is definitely not. The Jurassic Park idea--amber, insects and bits of frog DNA--would not work in a million years, and it was by far the most ingenious suggestion yet made for how to find dinosaur genes.

...Amber K. Lavicka '02 still remembers the series of events that led to her Lamont nightmare. It started out innocently enough. The man first stood near her study carrel, and eventually sat down across from her. But then Lavicka realized the funny business that was going on. "He moved his feet in an arc, feeling the ground for my shoes," she describes. "He kept moving closer and closer, until I got really freaked out and grabbed my shoes...
