Talk about clickbait
I simply had to click on this headline in the NY Post: “Skull of ‘dinosaur from Hell’ discovered with sword jutting from its head.”
Alas, not a sword. No duel with a dinosaur. The find was, “the skull of a supersized dinosaur from ‘hell’ with a swordlike horn protruding from its head … ”
There’s quite a difference between a sword and a swordlike horn. Not that I imagined there really would be a sword in a dinosaur, but I was curious to see the article anyway. This was the discovery:
According to the researcher, the primeval predator was a formidable-looking specimen, boasting a distinctive sail-finned back, and perhaps, most uniquely, a 20-inch scimitar-like bone jutting from its dome. …
In real life, this gangly creature was more akin to an oversized egret, pursuing fish and other aquatic prey, which it trapped using its long snout and rows of interlocking teeth.
In the photo, the “sword” looks something like a rhino horn to me.
They’ll never top “Headless Body in Topless Bar”.
Let’s not be so quick to jump to conclusions. It could have happened. My sister went to the Noah Ark tourist trap and swore dinosaurs were just left behind when the Ark sailed.
Not exactly the same…but still…!!

No explanation about how it might have happened… gotta wonder!

It’s so the rightwise born king of all Florida can pull it out and make himself known.

How about “STICKS NIX HICK PIX”?
My favorite is “More Mush from the Wimp,” from an editorial about Jimmy Carter.
