ZURICH (Reuters) - An amateur paleontologist in Switzerland may have unearthed Europe's largest dinosaur mass grave after he dug up the remains of two Plateosaurus.

The dinosaurs' bones came to light during house-building in the village of Frick, near the German border.

"A hobby paleontologist looked at a construction site for a house and happened to discover the bones," said Monica Ruembeli from the Frick dinosaur museum.

The finds show that an area known for Plateosaurus finds for decades may be much larger than originally thought

You know what this means.

We must go to war with European Tyranasaurus Rexes! We must fight them 210 million years ago so that we don't have to fight them now! :)

4. Evidently the early hominids lined them up and massacred them

Or maybe they were just really fond of BBQ Plateosaurus.

5. Oh, no.

Did the administration blame this on Saddam Hussein yet?

[ClintonTyree]

Al Qaeda, all the way......

Osama BinForgotten plotted this. He instructed early AL Qaeda operatives (who DID live side by side with the dinosaurs, ask any fundie) to crash their rocks into these peaceful dinosaurs.

At a press conference after the crash, Secretary of Quarries, Kindaslickrock Rice stated, "no one ever see this coming......ugh!" President Rockhead, in a hastily carved speech delivered from atop the steaming heap of carcasses said, "we hear you, and cavemen who did this will hear you too". The President was then quickly ushered off to his pen where he masturbated and flung his poo at the angry local cave dwellers.

That means that the Nazis hated Jews, Homosexuals, Communists, Disabled people, and Plateosaurs...

12. Plateosaurus is pretty cool, and weird

The earliest known dinosaur that got large (it was from the Late Triassic), and was part of the lineage that eventually evolved into the very large sauropods like Brachiosaurus and Diplodocus.

18. God keeps testing the faithful's belief.

All this proves is that God is ever watchful and loves his true believers so much that he continually tests their faith by planting even more fake bones in the ground for so-called scientists to find. Only the santicifed creationists (oops, I mean the intelligent designer believers) will be saved.

I mean, just how obvious can you be??!??

"Thank God, almighty, I'm bored again."
