Escape Pod Theory

[spathiphyllum]

Mars had water on it and we used to live there until we messed up the climate so badly that we had to send an escape pot to earth with only Adam and Eve in it and the pod was the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs.

Hang on, hang on. If the pod destroyed all the dinos, how come it didn't destroy a wimp like Adam and a cute little filly like Eve? You really need to come up with something better than that, spath. :-)

[spathiphyllum]

Because they were in the pod, which was supplied with oxygen tanks that would last a couple of years! They also had food reserves like our astronauts do :)

[spathiphyllum]

The reason the dinos died, AFAIK wasn't due to the impact, but rather the dust cloud

Those Velociraptors needed sorting out... Who'd have Adam and Eved it.

[Ken4155]

Everybody knows that Mars is made of chocolate. My theory is, therefore, that a huge chunk of it broke off - disturbed by a big bang somewhere - and landed on earth. The dinosaurs thought it was manna from heaven and they liked the taste so much, they stuffed themselves silly. Even when they felt their stomachs over-expanding, they continued to eat.Then there were several more big bangs - squishy ones, this time - as, one by one, dinosaurs of all flavours exploded themselves into extinction. There was just enough chocolate left for Adam to persuade Eve to make babies.

any excuse will do Ken... :-)

As fiction plots go, it'd need a lot of suspension of belief. Unsure I'd run with it.

It beats the story about spare ribs and apples I suppose.

[Ken4155]

Which part in particular, OG? :-)

[Mozz71]

It still doesn't explain the Duck-Billed Platypus.

Ah, the Duck-Billed Platypus. Even if i explained it to you in layman's terms, Mozzy, you still wouldn't believe me:-//

[Mozz71]

Maybe the pod landed on both a beaver and a mallard. Eve was upset about the deaths, so she used Martian technology to revive the creatures, but the DNA got combined, hense Duck-Billed Platypi were created. They threw it down into Oz, as they thought no one would notice it down there.

It's all a bit like The Fly (the Jeff Goldblum one, not Vincent Price), but with less vomiting.

[drmorgans]

I thought dinosaurs were wiped out around 60 million years ago. Modern humans have (apparently) been around for about 2 million years, and homo sapiens, for a few hundred thousand years.

Nah, that's just a story that was created to well and truly make the bible-basher's heads explode.
Mozz, your theory is almost spot on, save for one fact. The D-PP was sent to Australia 'cos it committed a crime - it pood on Eve's brand new fig leaf bikini. Probably ate some of that chocolate i was telling you about.

[Mozz71]

DBP couldnt have eaten the chocolate. It can't get the wrapper off with it's little hands.

The poop was a fair cop though.
