Cute!

I have NO doubt that you could convince an evolutionist that it exists TODAY! You wouldn't have to try hard either.

Here's where we need a pterodactyl with John F'n Kerry's head stuck on it. I'm surprised nobody's done it yet.

It's prey because it's tasty

Some cultures eat dogs, cats, snakes and anything else that moves. It is merely cultural bias.

Uncanny how the feathered creature sitting on my shoulder resembles a T-Rex.

The fuzz on chicks is single-filament -- likely they can tell the difference between the fossilized remains of mammal fur and chick "fuzz."

Thanks, you reminded me:

Gator - Tastes like chicken, chews like rubber.

Rattlesnake - Tastes like chicken, chews like rubber.

Eel - Tastes like fishy chicken, chews like rubber.

I'm sticking with my theory. {;^)

The lady has made a request: "Here's where we need a pterodactyl with John F'n Kerry's head stuck on it. I'm surprised nobody's done it yet."

I'm not graphic savvy, but I've run across many on FR who are.

Hear, hear! And how about a buzzard or something with the rich trial lawyer's head on it too?

Eel is wonderfully silky, not rubbery.

Tuna is a predator - tastes like chicken of the sea...

Reminds me of the old joke.

Nobody could figure out what the middle peddle of the piano was for, so they went to Liberace.

The asked him what the middle peddle was for and all he said was,

WhooooooWeeeeee !!!!
