WENATCHEE -- A 29-year-old Wenatchee man told police a pterodactyl caused him to drive his car into a light pole about 11:30 p.m. Thursday.

Wenatchee police cited the man with first-degree negligent driving. A breathalyzer test showed "a minimal amount of alcohol," said Wenatchee police Sgt. Cherie Smith. ...

When police asked the man what caused the accident, his one-word answer was "pterodactyl," Smith said. A pterodactyl was a giant winged reptile that lived more than 65 million years ago.

Hey, that proves it works! You are to be commended on your sensitivity to the plight of pterodactyls.

In the book “The Mothman Prophecies,” there was a reported sighting of a pterodactyl along some river around the border of Ohio/West Virginia. In a book that was full of odd stories, that one stuck out the most in my mind.

Clearly the government schools never taught him how to distinguish between a moonbat and a pterodactyl.

There is a fella that has a remote controlled pterodactyl. Wonder if he was out causing some mischief. I don’t know where he’s located, though.

Ooh, look at this...

Pterodactyl means ‘flying finger’, right?

Clearly this fellow is the product of a modern government-run public school education. Or else he's been reading too much Calvin and Hobbes...

This is Washington state, so the culprit could very well be psilocybin cubensis, aka "shrooms."
