It's nice to see that scientists aren't as stuck up as I always imagined them and that they actually swear once in a while. - izlander, on 12/03/2007, -1/+308I partially blame this dinasour for refusing to turn into fossil fuel and raising the price of my gas. ***** is more like it.
- theblueprint, on 12/03/2007, -6/+306Am I the only one who would pay any price to visit a real-life Jurassic Park?
- diggstown, on 12/03/2007, -5/+295Now we will finally get to know what dinosaur tastes like.
- Digg4all, on 12/03/2007, -12/+274Step 1: Extract Dna and fill in gaps with frog DNA
Step 2: ??????
Step 3: Profit - Satanael, on 12/03/2007, -2/+222FTA:
"The CT scan showed that the hadrosaur's vertebrae, which museums commonly stack together, are actually spaced a centimeter apart. That means we may have been underestimating the size of many dinosaurs."
Oh, *****. - Rushg60, on 12/03/2007, -21/+212Don't get too excited - it's just another practical joke from god. A really good one this time.
- acidbass, on 12/03/2007, -4/+131Wow, so that dinosaur has to be... what, 5000 years old?
- 5xSTUN, on 12/03/2007, -11/+106Wow, amazing, imagine, a dinosaur from as early as six thousand years ago! I bet this one was friends with Adam and Eve!
- tuxidomasx, on 12/03/2007, -2/+94seriously, when will we get to clone these things
- thefandango, on 12/03/2007, -10/+97step 1: Extract DNA and fill in gaps with frog DNA
Step 2: ????????
Step 3: Raptor Jesus Reborn!!! - markbrown, on 12/03/2007, -24/+107I, for one, welcome our prehistoric, mummified, overlords.
- xDibblerx, on 12/03/2007, -5/+82Ummm. There's a big difference between fossilized and mummified. The headline just plain sucks. If it was mummified they could actually get DNA from it and recreate a few. Fossilized means it's rock and you can't get DNA from a rock unless maybe it was that rock monster guy from Neverending Story.
- inactive, on 12/03/2007, -23/+87The creationist museum is pretty close to that. It says both lived along side each other: 6,000 years or less ago. Plus it really feels like science fiction.
If you look at their website, on december 11th they will discuss the following topic:
"Jurassic Park vs. Jesus: Who knows more?" And of course, the subject will be discussed by a former air traffic controller. Because nobody knows more about biology than a former air traffic controller.

/Yeah, I keep up to date with these retards. - inactive, on 12/03/2007, -3/+60Chicken tastes like dinosaur *****
- FlyCO, on 12/03/2007, -1/+57so, Velociraptors might be bigger and faster than currently known?
oh God - inactive, on 12/03/2007, -2/+57Some of us even run naked on the streets shouting out loud, after jumping out of our bathtubs in uncontrollable excitement.
- Ghost_MH, on 12/03/2007, -10/+62Someone went through the trouble of mummifying this thing??? It must have been the one Jesus rode.
- oxdeltaxo, on 12/03/2007, -9/+55Shhhhh...Don' tell the New Earth Creation Scientists.
- piesforyou, on 12/03/2007, -3/+48you mean "coudn't" not "could". You just said you do care.
- Lanefair, on 12/03/2007, -4/+48Forget cloning the dinosaur, clone the plants in his gut. They thrived in a toxic atmosphere, just what we need to sort the climate out!
- rhesuspieces00, on 12/03/2007, -9/+51"Up until Phil showed me this dinosaur," said Roy Wogelius, a geochemist from the University of Manchester studying the soil surrounding Dakota, "I had no interest in dinosaurs."
What a sad, sad little man. - gl77, on 03/31/2008, -7/+47tastes like chicken.
- offput, on 12/03/2007, -7/+43wrong thread. digg me down.
- inactive, on 12/03/2007, -5/+39Heh, Indiana Jones in the house.
- dellhime, on 12/03/2007, -22/+54Too fascinating!
- Djerrid, on 12/03/2007, -1/+32Damnit Jim! I'm an anthropologist, not a paleontologist!
- DreKor, on 12/03/2007, -0/+31Step 2: Run from Velociraptors
- xenuxenuts, on 12/03/2007, -15/+46Imagine my surprise at my first corporate job when during a meeting, the ceo told us to smoke a bowl or do what ever it took to come up with a creative solution to a problem .
- joaob, on 12/03/2007, -1/+30Cue Jurassic Park theme music.
- papusman, on 12/03/2007, -0/+28I would like to digg this comment 8 more times, please.
- shoerob, on 12/03/2007, -1/+29Scientists are people too. They have personalities just like everyone else.
- Sommerlost, on 12/03/2007, -6/+32that joke is mummified
- Sornos, on 12/03/2007, -1/+27What could go wrong?
- Norante, on 12/03/2007, -2/+26I like the way you think. I just have concerns that these plants may also have a fancy for human flesh.
- uttles, on 12/03/2007, -4/+27Here's another one:
"So far, they have determined that the hadrosaur's hindquarters are 25 percent larger than previously thought for the species, meaning that it could run up to 28 mph -- faster than previously estimated."
How many times have you watched some show on Discovery where they say "Dinosaur X would have weighed so much that it couldn't actually run that fast, so it was probably a scavenger."
Uh, wrong. That's a complete guess. - Ndiggnation, on 12/03/2007, -0/+23You know, he's probably right. I've thought about that ever since my kid got interested in dinosaurs and got me interested again. I get him these Jurassic Park chicken nuggets, and thought that the name isn't that far off (especially after reading that the T-Rex is related to modern day chickens) . I've also thought it's probably why I hear that things like alligator and frogs taste like chicken, because they're all distantly related. So yeah, I'd say that chicken probably tastes like dinosaurs.
- Ju1c3, on 12/03/2007, -3/+23d00d, did you even watch jurassic park. the dinosaurs ate them. in the words of Samuel L. Jackson....
"A DINOSAUR JUST F*(%IN ATE ME!!!!!"
yeah, i dont wanna be that guy - wild, on 12/03/2007, -1/+21"famous mobile games developer"
lol - uttles, on 12/03/2007, -5/+24I've actually wondered about that for a long time. Scientists make all these claims based on assumptions and everybody just accepts it until... BAM something is discovered that proves them totally wrong. With dinosaurs there are too many to list, but spaces between vertebrae just seems obvious.
- saintjason, on 12/03/2007, -2/+21hahaha! I actually laughed out loud at work.
- terminal157, on 12/03/2007, -0/+19The Nothing killed the dinosaurs!
- TheDreadDiggerD, on 12/03/2007, -0/+19Only one way to know.
- bamirza, on 12/03/2007, -1/+19Now that we know what is going to happen, since we've already seen the future.... everybody keep Wayne Knight the ***** away from that dinosaur!!
- rhesuspieces00, on 12/03/2007, -2/+19I'm disappointed that quote wasn't included in the description. I don't know what the submitter was thinking.
- danjwray, on 12/03/2007, -0/+17a real life Jurassic Park would be safe enough. oh, as long as you go with someone who 'knows UNIX'.
- ripstuntz, on 12/03/2007, -2/+19"When I first saw it in the field, (I thought) 'Shiiiit, that's a really well preserved dinosaur.' It has the potential to be a top-10 dinosaur, globally."
Best quote from an article ever. - sotopheavy, on 12/03/2007, -1/+17I believe this is called the scientific method. Create a hypothesis, test it, find new evidence, revise hypothesis and test again.
- ryodoan, on 12/03/2007, -3/+19Someone needs to RTFA again.
- cinder, on 12/03/2007, -1/+16Which is why you use frog DNA to fill in the holes.
