Reading that on BBC News this morning.

It can't be real though, right Creationists?

You know what's amazing to me about fossils like this?

As I contemplate it and what it means to humanity I wonder, "Did Fred Flintstone once ride this beast?"

When it comes to science news (no disrespect), Pluto can suck it.  'Fluffy feathered poodle from hell' is THE headline.

Is it big enough for Fred to ride? Maybe not. Bet it didn't tip over his ride at the drive up diner though.

Stories like this make me respect the historicity of movies and tv shows concerning dinosaurs less and less. I guess a show based on actual paleontology would be too boring(really doubt that).

Yup - the big blockbuster film of the summer should rightly have been called 'Cretaceous World.'
