  • PvtJenkins, on 05/03/2009, -0/+22Came here to say exactly that. That looks like a LOT of weight to be held up by two little t-rex-like nub feets.

  • Khiva, on 05/03/2009, -0/+17There are no 1.1 meter-long giant salamander's in China. It is only your biased Western media that leads you to believe so.
  • CoD4, on 05/03/2009, -1/+17Went to their concert once, not bat at all!

  • Khiva, on 05/03/2009, -1/+14Psst: I didn't put the little /s/ tag in just for fun. It's just that whenever there is any article on digg that has the slightest whiff of China criticism, at least a few angry nationalist nutters tumble out of the woodwork to blame the whole thing on an evil, biased Western media that's out to get them. I've even seen people complaining about weather reports, so a giant salamander can't be too far off on the outrage list.
