Maybe that’s where we got the Lizard People. Some elite folks DID find some dragons and transfused their blood. Would a Komodo dragon turn the trick?

You guys are the funniest EVER! TV would be so much better if you all did the writing. Then I might start watching new shows again.

I just want to know if Indy's father is still alive after his wound was healed. They never really made it clear in the movie.

Father and Son, for Indy Jones and his father

I don’t know if this is up your alley or just something for our Harry Potter fans.

...elixir of life...

At least one guy thought it was the Prussian Blue of the day.

It wasn't.

I tried it when this recipe first came out. It works! If you can’t get dinosaur blood, you can replace it with the boiled hair of a Yeti and some sea salt. Results are the same with just a few minor side effects.

If a concoction such as this were promoted by the NYtimes and the alphabet networks millions of progs would be standing in line to buy it.

***It also gave instructions for turning base metals into gold.***

When there is as much gold as lead in the world, then gold will have the same value as lead. it’s rarity is what gives it value. Ok, it is also glittery to the eyes.

If it’s got toad in it, it’s got to be good.

AND IT DOESN’T CORRODE! So when you dig it up in an archeological site, it’s still gorgeous!

Bad enough we can turn Uranium 235 into barium and krypton.

Mmmmm. Barium. Strawberry-flavored. Now that I think about it, kind of chalky.

Many creepy or impossible sounding animal parts also describe a “common name” of a very real plant part.

Usefulness gives the gold much more value. Gold is malleable ductile, resistant to most acids, pretty, non-toxic, and a great conductor. Lead, no matter how rare, fails at all that.
