Stop this madness
They will use the fossil to clone a new dinosaur from traces of DNA. They shall name it 'Godzilla' and it will probably run riot in cities with easily-identifiable skylines. Stop these Asian crazies before they doom us all.
A dinosaur skull has been unearthed in Japan. The 85-million year-old fossil is one of the oldest finds of its kind in the country, per Reuters. The skull was found in southwestern Japan back in 2004, on a mountain in the town of Mifune. An spokesperson for the Mifune dinosaur museum said that the skull belonged to a herbivore …
Absolutely right, Beavis! Once the hadrosaur had finished lunching on the Japanese city's ornamental gardens, it would have to go on the rampage, no question about it, looking for something, anything, to eat - even sheets of nori seaweed, and those radishes cutely carved into the shape of crysanthemums.
Tokyo terrorised by a giant enraged herbivore! There's definitely a film in that, somewhere...
Haha, love your irony.
You forgot to mention the stupendous ability of God to place the light emanating from distant stars to be only 6,000 light years away, oh, and that coalification is possible by pressure steaming wood (I've seen the video).
Creationist nuts are always in season.
As supermeerkat has said, God created the entirity of the Universe in 7 days (Not just the world, but the Universe - us Creationists don't go skimping on the Almighties mighty mightyness.) and the Dinosaurs and science and lack of any evidence of higher powers don't mean nothing.
Oh ... wait ... just grew a brain.
Science is right. There is no God and all religion is false.
Shoulda seen that coming really.
Quacky-dinos FTW!
Hahaha... superstupid is more like it.
All religion is evil. Why? Because it breeds ignorant idiots like you.
Jesus this and Jesus that... You all never look throughout history at what Jesus truley was and could care less for the missing chapters of his adolescence.
So, let me get this right... we are all supposed to believe in a invisible superman in the sky who has a special place for us if you do not live by 'his' rules that is filled with fire and pain and agony forever and ever... But he loves us?
Sorry... I'm not not buying the plausibility here.
I can touch a dinosaur bone. It is as real as my own. Tangible. Proof.
Your GOD... no proof. Faith by definition is belief without proof. It's apparent any way that if he did exist he has been on one hell of a long holiday. Just because mommy and daddy believe it does not mean you have to also.
Grow a brain.
Don't pray for me... I will, however, think for you.
Dinosaurs where placed by overly bored technicians when they had "Earth" built.

Before I start let me just clarify that I also am a non-believer in God and/or any other diety or religion.
In your comment, you do come across as a bit of a hypocryte. You say that they are brainless for beleieving in a God/religion without proof, but you beleieve in dinosaurs because:
"I can touch a dinosaur bone. It is as real as my own. Tangible. Proof."
Sureley what you mean to say was "
I can touch something that someone told me was a dinosaur bone and I believe them so it must be true"
Just my £0.02p (not inc VAT)
OK. Having drawn comfort from the silky sensuous touch of dino bone, examine it more closely. Reconstruct the beast conceptually. Calculate the strength to weight ratio of its muscular skeletal system. Ask yourself how it could ever have stood up without being crushed by its own weight, or some such analogous question.
A bit of a nuisance, really, this problem - but even the earliest paleontologists were aware of it, as for years, until the numbers of bones found made it difficult to sustain, the story was that dinosaurs had to be aquatic in order to benefit from the buoyancy. Since then, boffins have learnt from the English abroad - shout loud enough and you will be convincing.
Bloody hell, I must have a great sarcasm detector (possibly because I'm the most sarcastic SOB I know) as I knew his(?) tongue was in his cheek the moment I read the post but so many other people seem to have got their feathers a mite ruffled.
Way to go, supermeerkat, you've successfully revealed who didn't get enough coffee this morning and didn't get laid last night.
Where's a napkin-for-wiping-froth-off-people's-chins icon when you need it?
I was taking the piss. Given this is a tech site, mainly frequented by IT types, nerds (I consider myself to be one) and tech freaks, I sort of assumed that you'd all get the joke. In fact only some of you did (Jon, Sean et al) and others didn't. Perhaps I should have added a smiley or something.
@Anonymous Coward: I don't consider myself to be a troll, rather I have a dry sense of humour, strongly laced with sarcasm. Unfortunately, this doesn't really come across well in text. Ho hum.
