Ping!......................

Sometimes people add horns to the picture of a person as a joke.

So this may just be a clue as to where such humor originated.

200 year old painting?

[Red Badger]

I have often speculated that ‘dragons’ are actually the last survivors of the dinosaurs that lived on into historic times...............

[IYAS9YAS]

Nah. It’s just a saber-toothed dachshund.

They must’ve been good eats... Because we ate them all, and lot of other species too like the wooly mammoth... Yummy!

If only we had come up with domestication earlier... Like we have with cows, pigs and chickens.... We’d be eating them right now, they’d still be in existence and our culinary experience would be wider and more delicious.

[Alter Kaker]

I’m going to bet that it doesn’t depict an animal that’s been extinct for 200 million years.

[HYPOCRACY]

I have underwear older than that.

[Alter Kaker]

200 year old painting?

200 years ago there were encyclopedias. Maybe this comes from that?

[Hot Tabasco]

Not buying it.

[Paal Gulli]

Or it may not.

(their grammar syntax is teh suck)

[Getready]

Go to “genesispark.com”....go under ancient depictions of dinosaurs or dragons. Lots of stuff to see..
FYI

[deport]

I have underwear older than that.

The less you wash the longer it will last.

Looks like a Walrus, OTOH artists are known to invent as they draw and paint.
