The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Fossilized Dino Mummy

While reading threads on another site I lurk at I saw the two links that I thought some here may have an interest in.  It talks about a dinosaur found who was not just fossilized bone like most, but the body.

I wonder why some sites have such loooong addresses.

That is interesting that skin would fossilize and not decay.  How a teen suddenly finds it on a ranch is anyone's guess.  A lucky find for sure.

That really is intresting....I wonder what it's final moments were like before it died. The world may never know! But I do like this article, so that's all I need to know!  :DD

He he he. Things are always changing. It seems the scientists and paleontologists or whoever studies dinosaurs can never get their facts straight on how the dinosaurs really lived. They keep changing their information, and discoveries like this, I'm sure, only cause further change. You know, stuff like how the T-Rex walked, or even changing certain species of dinosaurs from leaf-eater to meat-eater (I heard about this in another topic on this board, too) class. Their information is never the same. Will they ever know exactly how they lived? Probably not in a million years [pardon the terrible pun].

Likely not unless they invent a time machine to go back and take a look, or a viewer that lets them view the time of the dinosaurs.

A time machine is certainly a lovely thought. Then we could see what in Davy Jones' locker was actually going on the Earth with the dinosaurs.

A time machine does sound interesting, but it also sounds dangerous.

So let us travel to the past to shot our ancestors in order to prevent that we would ever be born to shoot them  :P:

Possible since some of what some call dinosaurs, I think the group is therapsids or some spelling like that, some did become mammals later.

Very interesting and informative, thanks for sharing.  Hopefully they'll find more.  It'll be nice to see the information they can bring with more then just bones.
