Workers Uncovering Mummified Dinosaur

Hmm, soaked for a couple weeks in some mink oil might make the skin pliable
enough to make me a pair of Dinosaur two-steppin boots. Sweet.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks.

Wasn't there a similar thread a few months ago, which devolved into deliberate ignorance?

[fabian]

yeah, 65 million years old and the skin hasn’t rotted off...umm, somethings fishy with their carbon dating methods.

“Imagine hunting those things with spears”..... Man next to me in the Royal Tyrell dinosaur museum

I wonder if once they unearth it, if they are able to see any skin design patterns on the Edmontosaurus? It would be very interesting to see if a skin pattern resembling a holstein cow, bengal tiger or any other familiar pattern emerges. I doubt the fossilized skin is able show any specific color (a guess), but maybe a skin pattern can be detected.

Yes. The deliberately ignorant will be by shortly to put their lack of any objective education or powers of observation on full display.

They seem to be proud of it.

Very quickly. Here’s one who thinks dinosaurs are carbon dated!!!

LOL!

Hmmmmm. Pigments, probably not, but if they were structural (like the interference color patterns in feathers and butterfly wings) maybe?

A quick scan of a sample of the million and a half threads on FR will turn up plenty which devolved into ignorance, deliberate or no. The larger share involve the same handful of wangdoodles who like to fight each other on the same ground over and over. Most of the rest are dipsh!ts visiting Mac or iPod topics to dump on Apple and Apple customers in the same tired ways. :')

Relevant to GGG threads, there's the BC vs BCE, AD vs CE folks, who get this:

Then there's the mindless drones who insist on asking the template question "was this topic moved to Chat?" Chat is the place for science, astronomy, etc, as a quick perusal of the topic lists during posting will reveal. Anyway, they get this:

The absurdly stupid try to start fights, mostly in GGG topics, with YEC folks, by making a snarky comment about how the world is only 6012 years old or whatever. They get this:

For more general troll activity, I really need a GIF movie consisting of a group shot of hundreds of troll dolls, advancing in an endless procession toward the viewer. :'D

Hey, and WOW, great new tagline!!!

Recoverable DNA?

[aristotleman]

On the thread about the methane molecule discovered 63m light years away, someone posted a gem that went something like “how can they tell by looking at the light through a prism in a lab so far away that it's a methane molecule? -just another ploy to prove the bible wrong and claim that evolution is true.”

Speechless. I don't post to people like that any more. Got my comments deleted a couple of times cause of things like this.

I like your indirect approach.

LOL!

A simple correction pointing out the temporal limits of carbon dating accompanied by mention of dating methods more appropriate for 60K+ year old subjects might actually be appreciated by the "one" and also contribute toward keeping this thread from devolving into a snarky sniping-fest.

Just a thought.

True, and if it hadn't been done a couple hundred times, to no avail, I'd try it yet again.

You cannot educate someone who has decided that not only are you the personal representative of the most evil entity the universe has ever known, but that everything you know is wrong and/or a deliberate lie.

Deliberate willful ignorance trumps all.

All I can do now is point and laugh.

For further clarification go here...

Oh, I’m direct, when I bother. I regard everyone on both sides of that so-called argument (it reminds me of a description of Chinese imperial civilization, “wheels turning in the same ruts over and over”) as trolls, or when I’m in a very bad mood, as pinheads. No one on either side has any regard for me, for blam, for the GGG list, for FR, or for other FReepers.

Must have taken a long time and lots and lots of gauze to wrap that thing.

[SunkenCiv]

People who study mummies aren’t wrapped too, uh, never mind.
