I really enjoy trilobites.

I had this card set, when I was a kid, that told the story of a dinosaur/extinct animal invasion.  It was extraordinarily gruesome in a hilarious way, and my favorite card was the trilobites eating a guy's face.

Well, either that or the plesiosaur crushing the Statue of Liberty with its coiled neck.

My grandfather use to go out collecting those fossils in the desert. Several of us have a few.

That settles it, the Trilobite is now the official animal of Languish.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

That picture reminds me of the illustrated inserts in those old "Where in Time/the World/whatever is Carmen Sandiego" books from the early 90s.

440 million years ago, my property was a shallow tropical reef covered with clam beds.  Today, I have literally thousands of fossils laying around.  I have two or three exposed rocky outcrops back in the woods that are nothing but solid blocks of clam fossils (or 'brachiopods' if you want to get technical).  I'm pretty sure liberals didn't plant all that stuff on my property in an effort to deceive me.

Jimmy carter has plenty of spare time to do it.

Maybe Grumbler did it? Or saw who did it? :p

This has always caused misconceptions in biology.  Since things like evolution happen fairly slowly, it seems to us that species and classifications are static.  This is not the case.  Mammals 100 million years ago were different then mammals today.  If we had mammals from 100 million years ago walking around with modern mammals we probably wouldn't have put them in the same category.

Yes, Synapsids are Mammals in the same way Humans are Monkeys.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Dinosaurs never existed.

serious question, what do you think fossils are? a test of faith, a misundertanding?

What fossils?
All that crap is a liberal conspiracy.

I can never tell if you are serious. 

I am always serious.
