I've just taken a quick look but sadly i think i would have to say.....





.... Yes 8-[

Haha this is from one of the discovery programs. It was about a certain species of dinosaur which went extinct, and if they did evolve they could have evolved much like humans but only cold blooded and lizard skinned. But it was just some guys thought experiment. It says more about it on the FAQ page at the bottom, im getting ammused by this now.

It looks to me like it has a very high woo-woo factor. :roll: Perhaps someone with maximum free time and minimum (zero) friends/family to spend it with. I for people like this.

A banned poster went on to suggest the BA might be a reptoid. Link.

Bah. Typical. Most of the website except for the FAQ and the pages that are selling books and videos are "under construction".

Typical of cryptozoologists, he invokes the "undiscovered" mountain gorilla and Komodo dragon as "proof" that a hidden race of reptilian aliens *could* be existing somewhere.

Also typical is the insistence that they live underground and in remote locations, which supposedly explains why nobody has ever seen one.

And that they evolved from dinosaurs, secretly, in Antarctica back when it was still part of Pangaea. Which also supposedly explains why nobody has ever found a fossil of one--nobody has ever done much paleontology in Antarctica.

Nothing new here, IOW.

I doubt if people like this are actually "crazy". They just enjoy believing that there are mysteries out there that only they are privy to.

They did something like this in Star Trek: Voyager, were they ran into a race of evolved Hadrasaurs(sp?) who's ancestors had left Earth just before the Dinosaur Killer 63 million years ago. Of course they screwed it up, but is was interesting.

Sadly this "theory" has been around for a long time and yes IMHO, they have to be nuts.

And if memory serves, those evolved hadrasaurs spoke perfect English, too...

The moment I opened the page and saw the "star" background - I closed it. No need, I allready know.. blah blah we are (insert crazy idea here) from this (insert crazy time or place here) created by (insert anything here). #-o

Hahahah ....... wow that is MEAN

Edited: who was the poster

Well, as we already had Nile crocodiles, pythons, anacondas, ..., I think we fairly well knew what size reptiles could get. The Komodo 'dragon' is a lot smaller than those, so this is plain nonsense. You don't have to be gullible to believe this, you have to be really stupid

True. Take your 'if' big enough and everything becomes entirely possible...

Yeah whenI first tried going to Nasa I thought the animation was some kind of kid ripoff or somthing

Great. . . JUST great! Now I gotta go thru the rest of the day with the stupid "Land of the Lost" theme song going thru my head!

what were those lizard people called again??? Sleazoids??? Shlezzors??? Crap. . . I can't remember. #-o

Friend, if I got that stuck in my brain, I'd seriously consider ECT. With liberal doses of "Kung Fu Fighting" in between sessions.

Hey, at least on the bright side, this guy believes in evolution.

...And we can test his theory - I need few volunteers who will let me wack off their tales, and we can see if they grow baack.

I think that it is possible that unknown species exist, but bring on the evidence, but spare us the post hoc, non sequitur, and other logical errors,

In Vietnam I heard about some kind of animal that was supposed to be a deerlike creature, with some kind of "gill slits" like a fish.....Several years ago they actually found one and classified it. Now the French were there for over 100 years, and they never could find one, but this does not prove that the "Lizard King" is running around in some underground civilization, unless burial in Paris counts!!

There's no reason not to believe that there was an intelligent species of dinosaur in the past - especially considering that intelligent species tend not to die in convenient places where they are easily fossilised. Also any artefacts would have been long destroyed by Deep Time.

But to suggest that they are somehow still around is delusional.

Among those with little understanding of science there is a tendancy to take giant leaps of logic.

The universe is absolutly immense and the probability that there is another intelligent species "out there" is very high.............therfore the lights in the sky must be one of those races visiting Earth.

The Komodo Dragon was not found for a long time and it is somewhat possible that a reptilian species in ancient Earth pre-history was quite intelligent...........therefore ther are sentient reptilians living in the center of the Earth.

It is all very simple if you can just ignore any details that get in the way. #-o

Dr Dale Russell is probably the world's leading theoretical palaeontologist. For a large part of his career he worked out of the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa - this statue now stands in the foyer. (He was already a superstar in the field when he started the Dinosaur Project with Drs. Phil Currie (personal hero of mine) and Dong Zhiming; which catapulted them all into the public spotlight.)

Anyhoo; around the late '70's he was toying with the idea of 'what would dinosaurs look like if the KT event hadn't occurred?'

The result was Dinosauroid; the statue portrayed.

It was never a serious work. Like most of the world's top scientists; Dr. Russell has an almost childlike joy about his chosen field. It was just an idle way to have a little fun with dino evolution theory. From what I remember; some of his students knocked up the model shown as a bit of a lark. Said statue currently greets visitors to the Museum's palaeontology department - they put it up because they liked it; along with the amusing story of its creation.

Figures some dingusauruses would use it as 'proof' of a living Dinosauroid species.......
