Isn't it fascinating just what modern scientific breakthroughs can tell us about our long dead ancestors?

I'll grill him over tea tonight, Jo (not literally of course, we're having chicken) and let you know more.

No need to give birth, dinos/some layed eggs

It is only confirming bit by bit what we knew already, I suspect still a reasonable amount of artistic licence like OG.

Personally I think that the idea that you could take a living creatures DNA mix it with a Mammoths DNA and produce a bone fide dinosaur is a bit Wooly.

"Why are the press reporting that I'm black? Those pictures circulating were taken after 3 weeks in Mauritius and I tanned quicker than Bob Monkhouse in the shade!"

We’re they able to tell how he died ,maybe eating to much I suspect

[Prudie]

This is indeed fascinating from a scientific viewpoint. I didn't think any 'white' person thought they originated from a 'white' person so don't see that as a breakthrough.

[youngmafbog]

Skin colour adopts to climate over time so no, it is no surprise since it's pretty certain we originated from Africa/Middle east area.

Weecalf, he has a huge gash in his skull.

[jackthehat]

It has been discovered that apparently he couldn't digest milk....
It's that sort of thing that is remarkable.

[Islay]

We could be related - I can't digest milk either!! Also he does look a wee bit like my father!!

[youngmafbog]

All milk or just something like cow's milk? Maybe I am being a bit stupid here but how would they feed their new borns if no milk could be digested?

[jackthehat]

Cow's milk.

/// Which thread is Mamya being nasty on AOG? give me a link. ///

Surprising as it may seem to some, our Mamya isn't the kind sweet old lady who sends us off to bed with a soothing 'Night Night Song'.

She is in fact very clever with her insults and rudeness, especially when accompanied with that of Islay's.

/// Mamyalynne
Do you like documentaries AOG?

Dinosaur Autopsy was a good one I watched recently. ///

Now if that wasn't a crafty devise way of calling me a Dinosaur I don't know what is.

[Mamyalynne]

Old?

[Mamyalynne]

We are discussing amongst other things, documentaries and two nights ago I watched this one.

It was in my recording library so may have been a repeat.

Please don't infer I am lying to score points, I don't do that.

[Mamyalynne]

Yes, I did get the title wrong accidentally - Dinosaur Autopsy was a National Geographic one.

[jackthehat]

I suggest you seek out documentaries on Paranoia, AOG....

Go and be sulky on one of your own threads, please.

[naomi24]

Clearly an immigrant.

Aren't we all Naomi?
