Deputy Mayor Finds Eighty-Million-Year-Old Fossil


After analysing it, Dr Jarzembowski confirmed it was a fossil, and was "virtually indestructible" as it was preserved in flint, rather than chalk. He said it dated from the Cretaceous Period - between 145m and 65m years ago.

He said: "Quite simply it is priceless. I have shown it to other geologists and they are certain that it is absolutely a fossil. It's not a sculpture."

1. When asked McCain said
"this a gross exaggeration - the only thing I'll put my hands up to is fancying Mae West when she was jail bait".

4. but Gov. Palin was quick to counter that this old fossil...
can be no more than 6,000 years old, created as it was in "GAWD'S" image.

6. Watch out Rich Lowry (National Review) ...


"I'm sure I'm not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, "Hey, I think she just winked at me." And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America."

8. The literal translation of dinosaur as "Terrible Lizard" is more apt than ever.
