Your 8 gauge comment made me google for one, and I came up with this. Nice. Wouldn't mind this over the fireplace.

Scientists find fossil of enormous bug

It's Bush's fault!

Egad, even the bigguns from the new "King Kong' creeped me out.

I can manage to copy and paste the photo link :)
I was wondering if there was an article associated with that specimen. It's a museum piece to say the least at that size.

"He said some geologists believe that gigantic sea scorpions evolved due to higher levels of oxygen in the atmosphere in the past."

Such nonsense. To test such a theory, you can place a scorpion in an oxygen-rich container from birth to death.

Won't be any larger or smaller than its siblings. Nor will its offspring. Nor theirs.

Yet more reasons why "evolution" makes for lousy science.

HA...perfect response! (Blonde or dark??)

Speaking of bugs, the craziest thing our kids are doing now, 'slugbug'. When on the road, whoever sees a VW first frogs everyone in reach!

My 8YO neice slugbugged me on the road, I threatened her life, then she slugged me again on sight of the next bug! And she's an otherwise normal kid.

Aw, shucks. You just need the right shoe for the right job.

Used to be you couldn’t sling a dead cat without hitting one. Aside from mine I think I’ve seen three in the last 5 years. Going the dual carb, big valve heads, wild cam, large exhaust route on mine. Using it as a teaching tool for my 5 yr old too.

Actually, the human model was shorter than it should have been.

Looks like the Monkey Gun I had when I was 10 years old.
Sold it on Ebay for a tidy sum.

"...except that the fish of today are much smaller as well."

That should be the consequence, shouldn't it? Larger animals are easier to make extinct. Once the large ones are gone, the big fish with big teeth becomes somewhat useless at catching small, nimble prey. Thus, they die out as well.

The discovery in 390-million-year-old rocks suggests that spiders, insects, crabs and similar creatures were far larger in the past than previously thought, KNOWN with religious fervor by Darwinists who would happily excoriate anyone who dared to argue against their "scientific" certainties without proof (which they didn't have, either, to back up their beliefs).

Otherwise known to be SPAWN OF HILLIARY.

Thanks for the pings!

Bet it tastes like chicken.

So the old sci fi movies weren’t that far off.

[wildbill]

where oh where is Ender Wiggins and his cadets when you need them. They’d know how to treat these ‘buggers’

[null and void]

I’d say best served with drawn butter, and a bit of lemon...

[TASMANIANRED]

Requires a mighty large pot...

LOL How did we forget the Beatles? They were BIG back in the day.
