Yeah i told Monkette i thought it looked like a dinosaur body w/another weird monster head on it…very odd.

Hmmmm….I'm getting an idea here…perhaps you would like to go halvsies on a "Paranormal Creature" animal cracker venture? /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

OMG….that would totally rock the casbah….we can make them region specific too. Like sell the loch ness monster ones in the British Isles, Big Foot ones in the pacific north west…chupacabra in the southwest/mexico and of course the jersey devil in the tristate area….they have to be filled though, so when you bite into them they "bleed".

Ooooooo!!! /ohmy.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='<_<' /> Bleeding animal crackers!!!! You rock!!! /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':angry:' />

You ladies just put me off my feed! /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' />

Hey!!! Ladies? I beg your pardon! /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

My bad ! Please excuse. Will notate for future reference and buy shoes without laces so

my foot goes into my mouth easier!

No problem!! /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' />

How would you guys feel about a just for fun paranormal hoax contest – like who can hoax the best photoshopped paranormal critter or ghost, capture an EVP, etc.

No prizes. Just bragging rights. Anyone game?

Oh BIG time in!!!!

We need at least a few more people though!! Come on guys and gals!! It would be fun!

We'll make a thread for it….

Yes! Definitely! I think that it would be good for us to see how easily something can be faked these days as well…it gives us a better understanding of deciphering pictures of the paranormal..or the normal, as the case may be! /biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

On the theory of hybrids. It is unlikely that some sort of canine or similar mated with something with wings and something was birthed. Even if that kind of mating happened, it is impossible for a one species to bare a child from another species anywhere in nature. I could see it as being a hoax at some point to keep the British or even everyone else so that the locals could have their run of the land for whatever reason. It could have even come from a native american tribe in the area as a story passed to the settlers who used it as a bedtime story to scare their kids. Then they passed it down and so on.

I could only say : Never say never. I watched a program the other day and by tweeking only

1 gene in a chicken embryo the researchers where able to manipulate the embryo to begin growing

a tooth lined beak! A few more tweeks and they'd surely have a cold blooded half lizard, half chicken?

I swear I didn't intentionally try to use tweeks and beaks in the same post! /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Current evolutionary theory says that birds came from dinosaurs anyway, so it's probably more a case of reactivating latent genetic material than really creating new genes.

They could give us back our tails, but I not sure if even monkey would be all that happy with it.

True , what I was getting at though is the fact that a chicken and a lizard of today cannot

produce offspring. However with a few gene reactivations that wouldn't matter and you

would have what would appear to be a Chicken/Lizard! Are you kidding a working tail that

could hold wrenches, change channels or ….well you get the idea! /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
