Did anyone notice any press coverage on some Californian company 
that has extracted microbes from the bum of a bumble bee held in 40 
million year old amber and been able to cultivate them (resurrect from 
a 'dormant state')?  Apparently they are supposed to be marketing ale 
produced from this source and calling it, surprise, surprise, 'Jurassic 
Ale'.

How much truth is there to this (prejudgement here - ) nonsense?

Neil
