Skeletal remains of unknown creature found at Lumut beach

By Liza Mohd
What seems to be the skeletal remains of a big, unknown creature estimated to be 20 feet long was found washed ashore in Lumut beach yesterday. The stench resulting from the abandoned skeletal remains had caught the attention of a Brunei LNG Sdn Bhd security guard who was patrolling the area Sunday morning.

"We were patrolling the said area in our car when we were hit by the overwhelming odour of carcass. We discovered that it came from the skeletal remains of a huge unknown creature," one of the security officers said.

Some flesh could still be seen on the remains, which resembled the tail of the creature. There were still other small joint skeletal remains scattered about five feet away from each other but no one was able to make out what the creature was. Part of the bones was also buried under sand.

The skeletal remains of the unknown creature might have been washed ashore a few days back as a piece of the bone bore a signature, an indication that someone else had stumbled upon the remains and had left his mark.

The police have already been called to investigate the matter.

Clone it & find out!

You have to know what it is to find a suitable host to carry the clone to term. I mean, it wouldn't do to have a human trying to carry a whale...

Maybe Rosie O'Donnell can help...

Not the first strange occurance at that beach:

Couple arrested in Valentine's Day raid

In a Valentine's Day raid operation conducted by 8 Kuala Belait Religious Officials, a non-married couple was caught together in a car at the Kg Lumut beach jetty yesterday morning on suspicion of 'berkhalwat' or close proximity. The operation which started at about 12.20 am and ended at about 3 am involved search in the whole Belait district. Only one arrest was made. The couple was brought in for further investigation and if enough evidence is gathered, the couple could be charged in the Syariah Court for close proximity under Section 177(1)2.

I personally think it's the 'Tingler' from that Vincent Price movie.

It looks like a very large backbone. Perhaps the French have been looking for this...

LOL!

That thing is more like 20 inches, not 20 feet.

U.S. Senate "Republicans'" backbone found washed ashore in southwest Pacific. Doctor Klick's three Beltway Spinal Clinics surrounded by their campaign publicity agents. Rumors of Trent Lott and others selling their spines during the Senate Impeachment Trial of "President" Bill Clinton are awash.

I've heard of weird fetishes, but signing dead things is a new one for me.

I rather thought that basking sharks are chordates rather than true vertebrates, and thus possess a cartileganeous backbone rather than the bony jointed spinal structure that appears to characterize this creature.

Of course, I'm no marine biologist. I'm working off what I remember from my junior high biology class, which was about 1,000 years ago. I would be happy to defer to your superior knowledge if you know different.

It doesn't look too fresh, ricpic. I'm not even Mikey, who won't eat anything, and I wouldn't eat it.

It must have been a surgeon. They sign organs all the time.
