Holly,
Yeah I have! Actually I have one about a quarry in France that swore that they cracked open some of the marble they were mining and a Pterodactle came flopping out!
Apparently it only lived a couple minutes.
But I don't think it's true. I mean, that would be a famous story by now. And they'd have that sucker stuffed at the Louvre in Paris, don't you think?

Watcher, thats funny that was one of the specific ones I was thinking of, but I couldn't remember the details!! I thought it seemed a little far fetched too, but so is fish falling from the sky and that apparently happens quite a bit :dive2:
Lobo, of all people - you with the Jesus fish should have picked up on that one. Harlock said that the seed was as old as Jesus himself, to which I replied: "Nothing is that old".
