Title: So....Dragons??!
Post by: YoungMichael88 on Wed, 01 January 2014, 15:25:43: Found in Indonesia. Thought to possibly be behind mysterious cattle disappearances. No adult specimens found. Any thoughts?

Post by: Malphas on Wed, 01 January 2014, 15:43:08: Well the source of the story is a personal blog of a guy who likes writing pieces of short fiction for fun. I guess news aggregate robots aren't savvy to satire. The photos are real enough though, those are just flying lizards.

If it says "Here be dragons" then it is legit.

:)) :D

But everyone knows that dragons are just dinosaurs that survived, right? Like the Coelacanth. Which wasn't a dinosaur or a dragon.

Post by: rowdy on Fri, 03 January 2014, 18:44:34: The Coelacanth is a fish.

The dodo was a bird.

I know someone who fervently claimed they saw a pterodactyl flying over them - however they became rather vague when pressed for details.

And what about Big Foot? Nessie?

Who's to say that dragons really don't exist.

I bet that he is pretty huge and terrifying to an ant.

Just imagine a lizard like this, but the size of a Komodo Dragon!

Maybe with a bit of Southern Pulled spice ;) Although that goes well with pretty much anything haha.

Post by: Oobly on Sat, 04 January 2014, 03:36:47: And that, my friends, is why there aren't any dragons left. Just like the dodo's. Hasn't happened to the coelacanth, because apparently it tastes horrible.
