Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorOn October fourteenth, twenty twenty-six, ScienceDaily reported that a fossil forgotten in a museum for nearly a century has revealed a terrifying new dinosaur with giant claws.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe fossil is one hundred and twenty million years old, and the report says the animal may have been more dangerous to humans than a T. rex.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNearly a century in a drawer, Hank. Whoever shut that drawer has doomed us all.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDoomed how?
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHumans and this creature overlapped by a hundred and twenty million years, and I want to know who signed off on that gap.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe word in the report is may, and no human has ever been within a hundred and twenty million years of those claws.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe most dangerous thing here is the filing system.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThen I want the filing system arrested.
