| − | Since 565 A.D. there are reports about the Loch Ness Monster (Nessie), a large Monster living in Loch Ness, near Inverness, Scotland, where one of the best curry restaurants in the area can be found. People who saw Nessie described the Monster as it would look similar to a dinosaur. This information, along with a hazy picture of a black shadow, was released as a joint venture with the Xinjiang department of tourism's dinosaur-like monster reported sightings. Early accounts describe St Columba driving away the dinosaur through prayer, lending even more credibility to the report. There are suggestions that Dinosaurs may have had a diabolical origin, indeed, their large teeth and frightening appearance would seem to support this theory, as evidenced by fossils found by paleontologists. There are claims they planted this evidence, though, since they were unemployed at the time. Evidence from China indicates that dinosaurs may have lived communally suggesting they were left wing, and thus ungodly. It is likely that the current population of China evolved from these dinosaurs, given their current political inclination. | + | Since 565 A.D. there are reports about the Loch Ness Monster (Nessie by birth), a large Monster living in Loch Ness, near Inverness, Scotland, where one of the best curry restaurants in the area can be found (beware the chicken Madras). People who saw Nessie described the Monster as it would look similar to a dinosaur. This information, along with a hazy picture of a black shadow, was released as a joint venture by the Inverness Tourism and Sheep-shearing Quality Control Board along with the Xinjiang Department of Tourism and Bad English Signage's dinosaur-like monster reported sightings. So far the initiative appears to have been unsuccessful as not many Scots appear to have found their way to Xinjian, nor have many Chinese been spotted in the Inverness area. |

| − | An alternate theory for the inclusion of dinosaurs within many cultures is the existance of fossils. Ancient people, unaware that the ancient fossils uncovered by eroision were of extinct animals, attributed the bones to living, magical creatures. This would explain the importance of dragons in Chinese culture - there are a large number of dinosaurs fossils to be found in China.

Nevertheless, it can most certainly be used for your third-grade homework assignments. |

It is of course nothing to do with their imagination, because the Chinese have none due to their overeating of sweet and sour sauce over the millennia. It is thought sweet and sour sauce may be the blood of dinosaurs; however this is unconfirmed by both the Inverness Tourism and Sheep-shearing Quality Control Board and the Xinjiang Department of Tourism and Bad English Signage Creationists do not believe in the outrageous claims by palaeontologists that dinosaur fossils are over 50 million years old. After all, palaeontologists are scientists and therefore of bogus credibility. |
