Sorry that is against UBM&MC Union Rules. (United Brotherhood of Monsters and other Mytical Creatures)


I always have that trouble. Every time I try to get apicture of the monster under the bed, all that comes out is a fuzzy, grainy picture of what could easily be mistaken for dust bunnies with a cat hiding behind them, as it really is of the monster that I know lives under there.

Can't believe nobody posted a pic of the spaced out Ancient Alien guy from the History Channel.

LOL...It's too early in the thread. We have to humiliate all the *doubters* and then bring in the alien guy. :)

Clearly it's a mammoth struggling with an ostrich.

Oh, boy! Now that we have an animated gif of an elephant choking the chicken this thread is headed for the Smoky Backroom at the very least.

I thought the Russians and the Japanese were going to clone a mammoth.

The perfectly mummified woolly mammoth, a female who died at the age of six months, was named "Lyuba" after the wife of reindeer breeder and hunter Yuri Khudi who found her in Russia's Arctic Yamalo-Nenetsk region.

Weighing 50 kg (110 lb), and measuring 85 centimeters high and 130 centimeters from trunk to tail, Lyuba who died at least 10,000 years ago during the last Ice Age, is roughly the same size as a large dog.

Lyuba will be shipped to School of Medicine, Jikei University in Japan to undergo three-dimensional computer mapping of her body. The mammoth will then return to St Petersburg for an autopsy before being put on display in Salekhard.

The discovery of the baby mammoth preserved in the Russian permafrost gives researchers their best chance yet to build a genetic map of a species extinct since the Ice Age.

You can barely discern the speed boat pulling the mammoth in the video.

OK, good enough. But tell me this; why don't mastodons get as much press as mammoths?

Anti-mastodonites that's why!
