Ask Slashdot: How Do I Explain That Humans Didn't Ride Dinosaurs?
p00kiethebear writes "I have a wonderful and beautiful girlfriend who treats me right in every way. We've been together for almost a year now and everything seemed to be going perfectly until this morning. Over breakfast we were discussing dinosaurs and she told me a story about how her grandfather, fifty years ago, dated footprints of a dinosaurs and a man that were right next to each other to be within the same epoch of history. I laughed when she said this and then realized that she wasn't joking. She believes dinosaurs and humans walked at the same time together. The odd thing is that she's not religious, it's just what her archaeologist grandfather taught her. More important than just backing up evidence to the contrary, how do I explain this to her without crushing her childhood dreams? Is it even worth discussing it further with her?"
OH HO HO! You almost had me, Slashdot... you would have succeeded, until I realized that nobody on Slashdot has a girlfriend!
In Russia, dinosaur rides YOU.
I'm actually planning a trip with several friends to visit that horrible place and troll the fuck out of those fools. It's going to be hilarious.

Can we PLEASE dispense with the silly encryption bullshit? If I wanted something that was impossible to read, I'd go to FOXNEWS
Wow, you really can find porn of anything on the Internet.

I heard they discovered a lesbian dinosaur. They named it Lickalotopus.

Brontosaurus.
What else did they lie to us about?
The Flinstones was a thinly veiled documentary...and I really could go for a Sonic Brontoburger
I thought it was Megasoreass.

This part is a April's Fool day prank.

If she's good in bed, just shut up.
Jesus only rode the mightiest of dinosaurs. Don't be sacrilegious.
Why do I even bother to come to Slashdot on April first?
Because it is the one day all year long on which there won't be any dupes!

Actually, to add insult to injury, I believe that there is one category of readers that *do* have girlfriends, and that's all the Slashdot-frequenting girls.
