[One idiom] As dead as a dodo

"The deal is as dead as a dodo."

Dodo is the other most famous and documented species that has extincted besides dynasours.

If something is said to be as dead a dodo, it is not working, obsolete, or unavailable. It refers to the flightless and now extinct bird that was taken by sailors to their ship and kept alive for fresh meat. The Portuguese named the birds doudo, meaning stupid. Dodos were caught and eaten into extinction during the 17th Century. Thereafter, the phrase passed into the English language.

Dodo got it's fame largely due to the sorry told by 'Alice in the Wonderland".

 

 

 

Very good. Question: should we revive the extinct species?

such as the Dodo, Mammoth...

With human being, there are two schools of thinking

One thinks extinction is unavoidable, and the other thinks human beings excelerate it too much~~~~

Yes. I'd like to see a live mammoth. It says that some scien

scientists are working on it.

我原以为渡渡鸟与恐龙一起灭绝了，原来才灭绝几百年

这个真好。我觉得不用复活，地球会找到自己的平衡。 世界上每天都有灭绝也有进化。
