Scientists Find Preserved Dodo Bird Bones
nz17 writes "BBC News is reporting that a team of Dutch and Mauritian scientists have found what appears to be a mass dodo bird grave. From the article: 'Little is known about the dodo, a famous flightless bird thought to have become extinct in the 17th century. No complete skeleton has ever been found in Mauritius, and the last full set of bones was destroyed in a fire at a museum in Oxford, England, in 1755.'"
Just in time for the discovery of turkey remains tomorrow!
This was clearly planted by an Intelligent Designer to challenge our faith.
Big ones, small ones, some as big as yer 'ead!
Give 'em a twist, a flick o' the wrist...
I didn't know SCO was headquartered on Mauritius.....

Take that DNA, clone those fuckers, raise 'em on a farm, and sell me some Dodo McNuggets!
I look forward to the day when cloning of long-extinct species becomes profitable. Mmm...mammoth burgers and dodo hot wings...
Am I the only one who saw "Preserved Doo-doo bones" and thought, "What kind of horrific creature has excrement so large that it needs its own internal bone structure?"
I'm not sure it's worth the risk. They might escape and run amok in downtown New York.
Well, let me stoke your interest a bit. They found life on Mars long ago, but have kept it under wraps. It's all part of a vast right-wing conspiracy. Apollo 18 was not canceled, it was rather simply rescheduled and sent to Mars by President Reagan. When they arrived, the cosmonauts (American astronauts could not be trusted to keep it a secret, whereas Russians would never be believed when they returned, anyhow) found many fairly recent decaying dodo bird corpses. It turns out that they never went extinct - they were just banished to Mars by Napoleon. But the conservative whack-jobs running our country and all of its media have covered it up.
I'd like to tell you more, but there's someone at the door.
Unbeknownst to most ornithologists, the dodo was actually a very advanced species, living alone quite peacefully until, in the 17th century, it was annihilated by men, rats, and dogs. As usual
Intelligent flushing?
it seems the mystery is solved! the dodo birds all jointed together in a giant cult and then drank the koolaide! i should have suspected.
Anons need not reply. Questions end with a question mark.
Mauritian, eh?
Let me be the first to say:
TA PILON!
Netcraft confirms it. Dodos.....
