NOT!
Where's this guys scales?
They found some holes, and the only logical conclusion is that they must have been made by this thing.
Wow, I’m sure we could sell these on Rodeo Drive, they’d have to be defanged and declawed but the exoticness, oy veh.
There’s little doubt that there was abundant life on Antarctica in the past.
It wasn’t at the South Pole for most of the time.
There is no reason to doubt that there are huge oil and gas reserves there....
...Unless you think the world is 6,000 years old. The conversation pretty much ends at that point.
In his bathroom. Some things never change...
Don't tell my wife though, she has a kind of fetish for ferrets.
Luckily I put my foot down after her pet RATS died. Yup, she loves rats to.
GEE, I bet the world would be much better off without RATS.
They found burrows in South Africa. One of them contained a skeleton.
From this, we can gather that the burrows in Antarctica were dug by cat-sized mammal-like reptiles which huddled together, lived 400 million years ago, enjoyed watching sunsets, blinked an average of 7 times a minute, dreamed in color and chewed their food slowly.
How do we know all this? I told you -- we found a burrow in South Africa. It contained a skeleton. THAT'S why we know so much about life in Antarctica!!
They burrowed from South Africa to Antarctica. “I knew I should have made a left turn at Albuquerque.â€
So global warming was good then but bad now?
The ecosystem CANNOT SURVIVE without the genetic information of EACH and EVERY species. If the Stinking Hairless Jumping Rat of South Azania is allowed to go extinct, we will never find a cure for cancer, all crops will die, and the oceans will flood Coney Island.
What if you think petroleum has nothing to do with dead animals?
We could call them Merrets, ya.
Antarcdic Meerrets, yes Ma’dam, from the Triassic.
Loverly creatures, easily house broken, although we recommend one of our Eco-borro-habitat tm. for their
natural comfort.
I believe it’s quite taken with you too.
See! It likes you.
Jerome bring the lady a bandage, and another glass of Champagne.
Why not? There weren't too many Cajuns around back then, so the mudbugs would've had a chance to get reeeeeal big!
Ah! But coal does have a biological origin!
And three are vast deposits down there, too.
It depends. If you think it just seeps up from the earth's core, then you're a lunatic. If you think it is derived primarily from organic matter like dead plankton, plant material, and fish poop that sinks to the ocean floor and is eventually buried, I'd say you're correct.
Nobody is arguing that oil comes from dead dinosaurs or other reptiles.
