Now that's funny! All right, which one of you infidels are on The Onion's staff?

I hope Hovind or ICR don't sue The Onion for plagiarism.

Funny how all these examples of fossils "apparently died in The Flood"...implying that the flood was the instrument of their extinction. I beg your pardon! MY Bible specifically tells me that Noah gathered up mated pairs of each and every one of the animals and loaded them on the ark...precisely to prevent any animal extinctions in the flood! It could be argued (by theist standards) that this PROVES that dinosaurs survived the flood!

Though it DOES seem improbable that the presence of such huge and terrifying beasts aboard the ark wasn't even worth mentioning. It would seem that getting T. Rex to forgo his nature and not eat the other animals would be a demonstration of God's power that would be trumpeted for its absolute incredibility.

Wouldn't surprise me. If they there are nutters who took the "harr potter leads children to satanism" bit seriously, they'll be stupid enough to take this seriously. Or maybe they learned their lesson and know that theonion is satire?

Wow. Nice post Splat. That's the funniest thing I have seen in quite awhile!

"The fact that no human remains were found anywhere in the vicinity of the site of the skeleton serves as proof of the tyrannosaur's ferocity and huge appetite," Gill said.

ROTFLMAO

I'm trolling for YEC endorsements of the article.

Yeah, I'm being sort of a jerk. I'm trying to justify it as an "experiment" to find out how credulous people are, but maybe I'm just being a jerk 'cuz I'm sick of YEC's attacking me.
