Funny-Looking Dinosaur Found in China
Live Science ^ | October 04, 2007 | Robin Lloyd

A strange, long-necked waddling dinosaur with massive arms and probably enormous claws has been discovered.

It walked only on its hind legs like the carnivorous dinosaurs from which it evolved, but Suzhousaurus megatherioides, meaning "giant sloth-like reptile from Suzhou," was an herbivore, says researcher Daqing Li of the Third Geology and Mineral Resources Exploration Academy of Gansu Province in northwestern China, where the fossil specimen was found.

The creature belongs to a group of dinosaurs called therizinosaurs, characterized by long necks capped by small heads, massive arms and claws, and flaring ribs and hips that made their bodies very wide.

It’s a mighty good thing this “Funny Looking” dinosaur isn’t named Joe Pesci, that’s all I’ll say.

Everytime I read of a “new” dinosaur discovery in China I have to laugh - remember the uneducated chinese farmer that duped the National Geographic several years ago? Claimed he had a dinosaur with wings...they not only bit on it hook, line and sinker, but their entire magazine that month was devote to it, then it turns out to be a fraud made from chicken wings and bones....ROFL

Helen Thomas is in a phyllum by herself - “Antisemite boorish gigantus assholess.”

Modern scientists are so skeptical of data, it all has to go through peer review after peer review and then it gets vetted again and again for accuracy . . . . yeah, right.

Talk about being eaten up with your own agenda, sheesh.
