Select, point, click and presto!! A dodo appears from my cellphone. Not just totally majorly impressive in every way, but also a loyal companion. I could tell it things. I could share my cake with it. 
.Hey dodo. Hey Willem, this is great.
Can you put them back again? The extinct animals. Like if you get fed up with them. Worth the risk I'd say. I'll sell my soul. heheh. Could do with the graphic also, for a poster for my room.

Brilliant and funny, Willem. But don't try to become a copywriter, as it is too long except for entire page ads in dubious news-sources. I also adored the illustration and the source of the extra DNA.

Oh, good, the picture is up. 
I LOVE the picture.

Willem Posted May 9, 2011
Hi folks! Thanks for the comments. Cactuscafe, if you contact me by email I can mail you a high-resolution version of that picture.
Elektra, I've seen ads in some of my bodybuilding magazines that went on for four to six pages! And I think a lot boringer than this.
Dmitri, glad you liked the picture! As for conspiracies ... you aint' heard nothin' yet. Watch this space for the next advert ...
(I assume it's OK if I do another one? I think this should become a regular Post feature!)

I don't think Bel would mind if the ads became a regular feature, Willem. 
Anyway, more are welcome - Prof Animal Chaos has already done us two. 
I am less worried about the fact that you read 4-6-page ads than I am that you subscribe to more than one bodybuilding magazine...the mind reels...

Willem Posted May 9, 2011
Well, I'm no longer subscribed to any bodybuilding magazines. I was subscribed to one in the mid-to-late nineties. I bought another few around the same time, but stopped because it became just too ridiculous.

Er, yeah, I can imagine that...

This is great! 
Funny, plausible enough to be thought-provoking, and brilliantly illustrated.
I agree with cactuscafe that a dodo might be nice.

Willem Posted May 12, 2011
Hey folks, thanks! I'm thinking about the next one ...
I would love to have a dodo! Actually I would love to have lots of dodos ... back in Mauritius, that is. If I had this thing I would use it very responsibly.
