Grass Grazing In Dinosaurs Confirmed
longhawn writes "Reuters AlertNet reports that a team of researchers found evidence in India that dinosaurs ate grass. This discovery was made when scientists found pieces of grass in fossilized dinosaur dung (coprolites). Prior to this finding, scientists did not even know that grass existed at that time." From the article: "Few scientists had ever thought that dinosaurs grazed, because there was no evidence that grasses existed that long ago. They believed that the grinding teeth found in some dinosaur fossils were used for munching other plant matter, perhaps trees, like modern beavers chew on today."
Nov 19, 2005 HANOI (Reuters) - Vietnam police have arrested British rocker Gary Glitter on a child molestation charge, a state-run newspaper reported on Sunday.
The Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper quoted immigration police at
Ho Chi Minh City's Tan Son Nhat airport as saying Glitter whose real name is Paul Francis Gadd was arrested while trying to board a plane to Bangkok on Saturday morning.

Immigration police at the airport declined to comment.
The state-run youth newspaper said police escorted Glitter back to the southern resort town of Vung Tau where, according to state-run Vietnamese media, he had taken home several girls aged 15 or under.
On Thursday, Foreign Ministry spokesman Le Dung said police wanted to question the 61-year-old rocker about the allegations, which first surfaced in the British tabloid press.
"If we have evidence of a child sexual violation, very strict legal measures would be applied," Dung said.
On Friday police launched a formal investigation against Glitter.
The age of consent in Vietnam is 16 and sex with minors is punishable by up to 12 years in jail.
Glitter was sentenced to four months in jail in Britain in 1999 after being found guilty of storing more than 4,000 images of child pornography on the hard drive of his computer.
After his release, he left Britain for Cuba and then later turned up in Phnom Penh.
Child rights activists hounded him out of Cambodia twice and have had his name put on an entry blacklist, although Glitter filed lawsuits last year fighting the deportation orders.
Vietnamese newspapers have reported Glitter had been in Vietnam for about a year.
so, does this mean there were dinosaurs?
or is this how god planned?
or perhaps, is this the devil planting stuff so we lose faith in god?

In the context, God is demonstrating His power to Job through the creatures He made. The Leviathan is described in chapter 41 as a creature with airtight "shields" on his back that cannot be pierced by sword or spear. God says of him in v.33, "On earth there is not his like, a creature without fear." Assuming that dinosaurs were present, it makes more sense that God would use a large dinosaur along with Leviathan to display his power, rather than Leviathan with a hippo, or even an elephant.
