Today's Redundancy Award (& fun with Dinosaurs)
Hey Folks,
I love dinosaurs !! Doesn't everybody? But I had to laugh out loud at the first sentence of this story.
Yeah, the Uke Man is weird. See what you think (I've highlighted the part in question), and I'll blather a little more afterwards . . . Uke Man
Scientists report dinosaur find in Utah
Sep 22
SALT LAKE CITY - The remains of two dinosaurs believed to be millions of years old were discovered in southern Utah's Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.
They have been covered in plaster jackets and will be flown out of the remote area to the Utah Museum of Natural History in Salt Lake City.
"It's been a dream summer for paleontologists," Alan Titus, paleontologist at the 1.9 million-acre monument, told The Salt Lake Tribune.
A 6-foot-long skull found Aug. 21 appears to have characteristics of the ceratoid family. Researchers also found the full skeleton of a ceratop-like dinosaur.
Scott Richardson, who found the skull, had finished a 12-week internship and was visiting the paleontologist camp before departing for the summer.
"I'd only gone about 200 yards away and found a few pieces of bone sticking above the ground," Richardson said from Flagstaff, Ariz.
Now Folks,
Did you laugh??
Well, I said I was weird, but I couldn't help laughing. They discovered two DINOSAURS but only BELIEVE them to be millions of years old !!!
According to Dinodatabase.com : "all of the dinosaurs died out completely and suddenly 66 million years ago, after having been very successful animals for about 160 million years. (In contrast, the human family dates back only four million years.)"
ANY dinosaur bones anybody EVER finds ARE "millions of years old. Hence, my chuckle.
Would they have said, "The remains of two dinosaurs believed to be dead were discovered in southern Utah's Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument"?
Did you laugh that time? Oh, well.
Then again, if you think of it, maybe the reporter is a Creationist and believes the universe is only 7,000 years old - including dinosaur bones.
Now, I'm not laughing.

I believe that there are dinosaurs still living amongst us, yet they cast no reflections in mirrors and they must sleep in the soil of their native homelands to maintain their youthful vigor. Thus, I was quite shocked to discover the antiquity of these particular bones.
Hey Nathan,
I've heard of these creatures.
Thanks for writing.
I liked your blog, its concern for humanity.
I am not religious myself, but I truly respect those who work to live the spirit of their religion serving mankind and making a better world.
It's the phony religious, at least as I see it, that I often rant about.
Good luck with your continuing collegiate efforts (and the music too).
Yours - Uke Man
