just link to the story!! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+75I doubt the Chinese need a flying dragon to confirm their existence lol.

- FalseProphecy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+43Nothing "flys".
- luvkit, on 10/12/2007, -4/+36Six inches long?! That's about the same size as my...
- shaun1018, on 10/12/2007, -2/+34Its only six inches long... that isn't a dragon thats a measly lizard.

Yeah I'm sure most of our dragons are bigger than that. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+25I need my robe and wizard hat
- Anrkist, on 10/12/2007, -6/+27China always has amazing stories come from the "Press".
- Junkyarddawg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20Ahem... Maybe this can clear things up a little: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_dragon
- inspecality, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21It's probably just some retarded fish-frog.
- actionscripted, on 10/12/2007, -5/+18Ancient Flying Dragon Discovered in China
-----------------
Chinese scientists say they've found the remains of a small "flying dragon" that lived around the time of the dinosaurs.
A report by Xing Xu of the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleonanthropology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in Beijing, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, says the unusual arrangement is found today only in the dragon lizards of southeast Asia.
The fossil of insect eating reptile was found in the Liaoning Province of northeastern China. - saikhan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14The only validation that China needs is the complete and utter dominance of the world economy. I'm just sayin'.
- Oatmeal, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14Yeah, because cross-posting about dragons is part of my evil scheme to abuse digg and make billions of dollars.
- rasterbator, on 10/12/2007, -22/+34China wants so badly to believe this thing is a dragon because it validates their existence and their beliefs. Extremely bias junk news. Maybe get scientists from another few countries to validate their findings.
- plnegative1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12http://news.softpedia.com/newsImage/A-Flying-Dragon-Roaming-the-Air-during-the-Dinosaur-Times-2.jpg
LOL - Emachine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11was there a "Made in China" sticker on it?
- rasterbator, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Flying squirrels have skin that attaches to the legs and body that allows them to "glide" from treetop to treetop. This does not mean they can fly. Nor does it mean that they are dragons. That thing is a lizard with a little extra skin, which would be so nice and crunchy when deep fried.
- Junkyarddawg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Indeed. It is a lizard which is named "flying dragon". Its latin name is Draco volans, which means "the dragon which flies". And it's a small lizard.
- darkdaedra, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10Six inches long is a flying lizard... How is this more of a "dragon" than a Pteranodon or a Pterosaur? If it were carnivorous or could breathe fire, that would be one thing, but come on!
- bigdt87, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7look at all of his majesty!
- revenge7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6And how!
- rowlodge, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6a freakin shot of the skeletal remains please!
- eleventybillion, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Trogdor the Burninator....
- VhaidraU, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Religious zealots believe dragons and unicorns existed. Afterall they are in the Bible and Saint George of Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and even Anglican-Protestant fame slayed a dragon!
- mdmadph, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4"In all seriousness, dominance of the world economy? US GDP = 13.22 trillion dollars. China GDP = 2.68 trillion dollars."
give it a while. get back to us in about 20 years. - Harbinger67, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5WHELPS!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4When you see the picture of the "flying dragon", it looks like nothing more than a lizard with flaps. It has no wings, and looks nothing like a dragon, sadly. How cool would that have been?

In all seriousness, dominance of the world economy? US GDP = 13.22 trillion dollars. China GDP = 2.68 trillion dollars. - Zaggynl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3picture: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/connected/graphics/2007/03/20/udragon.jpg

- WikiEasy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2There needs to be a way for users to vote DOWN links and offer links from other sources. All this blg spam, lame redirections, or re-quotes is getting really lame. The link posted is short on content, has no pictures, and is full of ugly ads.
- sirpsychosexy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2breathes fire or it didn't happen.
- doctechnical, on 10/12/2007, -8/+10Hot damn! Let me get my dice bag...
- ToastyBagel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3@Sell
If for no other reason than your 3rd grade English teacher deserves better. -1 - finalblue, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Actually the literal translation for the word "dinosaur" in Chinese is "terrible dragon" ("kong long").
- ninjad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@darkdaedra
my dragons carnivorous... - mdmadph, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1...why the hell is that on softpedia?
- jakster4u, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3It could be true, but it is China and an English telegraph, so I won't believe it until i see it.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1dragon? why couldn't it be a reptile or a dinosaur? This article has no info whatsoever, and saying its a dragon is just a game of words because it could be so many things.
- Zachiatrist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Man why is it that so many ancient civilizations had drawings and stories about dragons...So weird that the Chinese calendar is made up of all real animals and then a dragon....Hey here's a thought. The word Dinosaur was not invented until the mid 1800's. Same freaking thing folks. Now bury this comment like you know you want to.
- dudad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's probably as true as their scientists cloning humans.
- plnegative1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't know, but if you link back to the article it has a picture of the actual fossil. I wish I could have seen that thing in real life. It looks hilarious.
- HsoKinees, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1this reminds me of the little green lizard from ITV's scifi series, Primeval :O
- Vishap, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@ darkdaedra
It's more of a dragon because, while those famous massive ancient flying reptiles had two legs and two wings, this little lizard has four legs and two wings. In form, it is more like the traditional European dragons.
For my part, I'm annoyed by this story, They first found one of these (or perhaps the same one mentioned in this article) quite some time ago. Note, I am NOT complaining about this being "old news". I think more people should know about it and have annoyed more than one friend by randomly asking them if they ever heard of "that winged lizard" or the serpent whales. What annoys me is... all this time and they (the news sites, not the digg submitters and readers) have nothing new to tell us? C'monnnn, you cannot tell me about some awesome dragon lizard, and then not tell me anything else! How did the ribs extend into wings? Did they leave the chest cavity unprotected? I'm assuming the wings were inflexible, yes? Did... did the little guys by chance have horns? Can you PROVE they didn't breath fire? - audiowizard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah well Communist China also says the Tiananmen square protests of 1989 never happened, so ***** them.
- loganhid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1ran guys, its a maneater
- iofthestorm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ahh, wow that's a really cool idea but I think it would get kind of complex. I think there should be some sort of way to merge submissions that are from the same story on different sites and then perhaps allow users to digg up a specific one which will be shown as the main story, while the other links show up as supplemental ones. People would then be able to digg up the other links and if a different link was better, no blogspam and whatnot, it would become the primary link. That's probably way too complicated, but it'd be frickin awesome if it happened.
- Boshow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Dragon isn't exactly a scientific term. I don't think you can prove their existence since they are mythical creatures. There are reptiles that we call dragons, like the kimodo dragon for example, but when I think of dragons, I picture a bad-ass flying dinosaur with a mustache.
