Matt Damon whines about Sarah Palin being an unknown but he says nothing about an empty suit who has connections to serious scumbags. Matt has no problem voting for a candidate who refuses to release his real birth certificate, refuses to release his college transcripts and has had close relationships with terrorist scum he refuses to talk about. Maybe if Matt had a brain he would notice that the questions surrounding Obama are far more serious then Sarah Palin’s belief in dinosaurs.

It takes all kinds:

SEA PIG

[MrB]

Are you going to defend the occurrence where they found a tooth,

manufactured an “apeman” from it,

put said apeman on display, with his family, in some cultural setting, clothing, tools, fire, shelter,

then found out later that it was the tooth of a boar?

[allmendream]

No. I am going to say that your construction was a silly straw man designed to discount any fossil finds no matter how numerous or complete as ‘just a tooth’.

Do you think that because one guy once got carried away, and was quickly corrected by his Scientific peers, that all fossil finds are “one tooth”?

[Chickensoup]

Has anyone told the Muzzies this?

the world was ruled by pig-like creatures for a million years... around 260 million years ago -- when the creatures called lystrosaurs were the few survivors of a mass extinction. Nearly 95 pct of the living species were destroyed by a series of volcanic eruptions...

Nope, it was an impact of a space rock.

Many thanks to decimon. I've pen wondering whether they ever had wings, so I ham a little disappointed that there's no information about that.

Asteroid 'destroyed life 250m years ago'
by Dr David Whitehouse
Friday, February 23, 2001

Earth's biggest mass extinction 251 million years ago was triggered by a collision with a comet or asteroid, US scientists say. They have reached this conclusion by looking at atoms from a star trapped inside molecular cages of carbon...

In rock layers laid down at the time, there is a much higher concentration of complex carbon molecules called fullerenes that have different types, or isotopes, of helium and argon trapped inside them. These molecules could only have been delivered from space, the researchers say...

The researchers believe these particular fullerenes are extraterrestrial because the gases trapped inside have an unusual ratio of isotopes that indicate they were made in the atmosphere of a star that exploded before our Sun was born...

The telltale fullerenes were extracted from sites in Japan, China and Hungary, where the sedimentary layer at the boundary between the Permian and Triassic periods had been exposed...

The research was made difficult because there are few 251-million-year-old rocks left on Earth. Most rocks of that age have been recycled through the planet's tectonic processes...

Researchers estimate the comet or asteroid was six to 12 km (3.7 - 7.4 miles) across, or about the size of the asteroid believed responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs 67 million years ago...

The mass extinction of 251 million years ago was the greatest on record.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I’m gonna need intense therapy after seeing that photograph.

[Mike Darancette]

These Mammal-like-reptiles even survived the great dying (250 mya) and supposedly are our direct ancestor.

[Fred Nerks]

Lystrosaurus is a Triassic dicynodont who had survived the Permian extinction. It has been found in Asia, Africa, South America, and even Antarctica. It is very common in the early Triassic and at one time may have represented half the life on earth.

dicynodonts...

So obvious! You'll get that when pigs fly.

[Quix]

I didn’t realize that Shrillery and her bedmates were THAT old!

[wolfcreek]

Somebody had to say it.

The Baconator was cheaper back then...........

[GraniteStateConservative]

The Baconator was cheaper back then...........

And wash it down with this.

[Jaded]

What were they smokin' when they decided that looked like a pig? Even the pic at Nat'l Geographic doesn't look like a pig and definitely not like the pigs feeding at the trough in DC.

[MrB]

one guy once got carried away

Don't be silly, it wasn't "just one guy".

There's also the case of the OBVIOUS fraud of attaching a ape jawbone to a human skull fragment, then filing down the canines and presenting that as a transitional form. Once the fraud was exposed, it was obvious that anyone looking at the "original" had to be in on the fraud as well.
