I had visions of Frank Lautenberg on the Jersey shore.

No one would know for a year and his votes would still be recorded.

Isn’t that guy on “Lost”?

So you mean there were tress and grasses in what is now the Utah desert?
Huh, who would have though there were changes in the climate. /s/
Very interesting.

Seitaad ruessi, which is derived from the Navajo word, Seit'aad, a sand-desert monster from the Navajo creation legend that swallowed its victims in sand dunes.

Odd how the Navajo would have such a legend when the time span is so great and there was no possible overlap between this creature and humans. Unless we're wrong about the time span.

How did all those dinosaurs die before Adam sinned?

[freedumb2003]

Even back then those ATVs were dangerous...

Artists' rendition of an ATVsaurus' demise.

[DannyTN]

So that’s what happened to Hagrid.

[Mike Darancette]

Which one is the Dinosaur?

[BIGLOOK]

That's the second one in as many days.....first was the Velociraptor.

Maybe I ought to invest in desert properties, who knows what I'll find.

Isn’t that guy on “Lost”?

If he's hanging out around Bluff, Utah, he is definitely lost!

[this didn't just happen]

Of course it didn't "just happen!" He crossed the Mastodon Mafia; you don't mess with those guys!

I can only express how dangerous those guys are by TYPING IN ALL CAPS!

They made him "swim with the sand fleas!"

Ahb . . . the white thingey is the Seitaad Ruessi?

Nice headline... Good chuckle on that one..

[SoothsayerToo]

Wait, wait.... there must be more a plausible explanation here. Surely people don’t think that the earth is much older than 6000 years. Next thing you know someone will say that Geocentrism is wrong.
