Ah, okay... I turn my back for a couple of days and I can't keep up with the plot!

So that's where the wars started? So much for the "brotherhood of mankind".

Plot? What plot?

I was actually serious before about this world being hell. What if others are afraid of going to some Biblical-style hell, not realizing this whole world is hell? Like a matrix-hell...
If any of that is true, then what is Heaven? Outside of the matrix? Or is heaven more of a state of mind?

Great minds? Or insane minds?

I think you should add your 2c more often, K.P. - there were still a lot of great books written up until the year 1999 so no doubt you have a lot to share ;)

Laureen (laureenandersonswfcomau) | 478 comments A harsh judgement Ed. What is wrong with waffle waitresses. If you mean they give out a lot of waffle, then I am a waffle waitress. I think I am OK, but I may be biased. Ha.

James Morcan | 11380 comments Maybe this question is too vast.
Maybe it needs to be narrowed down to multiple choice.
So let's try this again...

What Really Happened to the Dinosaurs?
A. Noah started eating the dino eggs on the Ark (and the other dinos died in the flood).
B. The meteor theory.
C. Flat Earth (the Earth used to be flat and they all walked off the edge).
D. A Jonestown of the dinos occurred where they all committed suicide.
E. Something (anything) Else?


message 459: by James, Group Founder (new)

James Morcan | 11380 comments I vote E.
However, C cannot be discounted!

Dammit Ed W. you've taken the words right outta my mouth. There's really not much I can add to that.


message 462: by Laureen (new)

Laureen (laureenandersonswfcomau) | 478 comments I am having trouble deciding but it is not B. Dinosaurs were all over the world. It stands to reason that a meteor the size of which could kill all the Dinos would have taken out the Earth as well. Do you think?


message 463: by Laureen (new)

Laureen (laureenandersonswfcomau) | 478 comments Oh, you are probably right Ed. I think it's time I tried some of that kool aid!


message 464: by James, Group Founder (new)

James Morcan | 11380 comments Ed, do you feel the dinos had a heavy heart when/if they called it a day and followed whoever the Jim Jones of the dino kingdom was?

In this asylum (I mean group) the Flat Earth theory is gaining traction amongst members!! I'm sure this will please the scientists who still remain in this asylum...

That's not funny, Laureen. UK would be dead without you."


Ok Ed, instead of the kool aid, I'll try jumping into the ocean and see if it takes me over the edge. Oh, I just remembered, I am one of those rare Aussies who can't swim! Never mind, according to some of our voters here, I will be going over the edge anyway. See you in the next life Ed.

BTW, that is an unfortunate title to this discussion group Underground Knowledge - UK. United Kingdom - UK. What were a Lance and James thinking. I hope I don't get confused when abbreviating that long title!


message 468: by James, Group Founder (new)

James Morcan | 11380 comments In 65 million years, Krishna, that's long enough for dino bones to disintegrate in space. Hell, maybe there are dino remains on the Moon!

So please admit my flat earth theory holds the most scientific evidence.

If you want a laugh, I recommend.

Laureen (laureenandersonswfcomau) | 478 comments Re your post 600. OK, For the sake of any other suggestion, I have confidence you know what you're talking about James. Perhaps you should report this to the scientific fraternity. You could be breaking new ground here.


message 471: by James, Group Founder (new)

James Morcan | 11380 comments Breaking new ground as in going underground?
And for some reason, the scientific fraternity just will not listen...However, I take comfort from the fact that all revolutionary scientific ideas were ignored at first...

James, that was hilarious. It definitely belongs on UK. I am so glad I took the time to listen to it. Is that book real or made up for the comedy show? I loved the one where the Knight in Shining Armour was slaying the dinosaur.

Well if the CIA are now after me, they probably are at least monitoring everyone in this group...So therefore, we should all give a shout out to the CIA lurkers in this group (I will go first): "Hi spooks! As you can see we are discussing some really dangerous ideas here...like, um, er, dino conspiracies...So I hope this helps with the reports you're writing at Langley HQ."

message 477: by James, Group Founder (new)

James Morcan | 11380 comments The other night I was watching in the cinema the Jurassic World trailer (with my 3D glasses on) while waiting for Mad Max: Fury Road to begin. And I thought of the group as Steven Spielberg's dinos jumped out of the screen at me and I screamed for help.

And as T-Rex's head almost bit my head off, I had this brilliant (or insane) epiphany: It's time to resurrect this dino thread!

Yes this discussion thread has been almost as extinct as the dinos lately, but it still has potential I think...

C'mon people, between our brilliant minds we really can figure out once and for all what happened to the dinosaurs (or if not then I'm sure we'll infuse a few more B-grade jokes into the discussion and take some additional pot shots at each other in the process).

So I ask again in all seriousness (although I am still wearing my 3D glasses as I write this): WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE DINOS???? HOW COULD THEY JUST DISAPPEAR FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH???

James Morcan | 11380 comments Krishna wrote: "James!!!!! everyone have already answered this!!!!! "

Yes, but let's not let this fact interfere with the insanity of this thread, Krishna.
I mean, how can any correct answer be understood when you're living in the looney bin of the underground asylum?


message 479: by [deleted user] (new)

Has anyone considered the dinosaurs are still alive? Like, they mighta gone underground? :)


message 480: by Laureen (new)

Laureen (laureenandersonswfcomau) | 478 comments Yes, they did go under ground and turned into bones!

Harry Whitewolf | 1745 comments This thread is still going?!


message 482: by Harry (new)

Harry Whitewolf | 1745 comments Me?! I think you'll find James Morcan and some 6,000 year old Earth theorists started it!


message 483: by Laureen (new)

Laureen (laureenandersonswfcomau) | 478 comments PatEye 586. I love the picture of Noah searching for a bottom big enough to incubate the Dino eggs. You crack me up! No pun intended.

Maybe those monkeys with red bums evolved the way they did because they were the dino egg incubators?


message 485: by Laureen (new)

Laureen (laureenandersonswfcomau) | 478 comments Well, red baboon bums is an interesting thought but I think the larger animals were not getting enough grass or food fuel so they ate the Dino eggs. An elephant might have stood on one and once it cracked, the other animals realized what a great source of food they were.


message 486: by Laureen (new)

Laureen (laureenandersonswfcomau) | 478 comments P.S. which leads to the question; did all of Noah's creatures have a high intellect and ethics and knew about God? What stopped the beats of pray from eating other creatures on the Arc. It must have taken a lot of discipline
for a lion not to eat a nice juicy deer standing nearby, seemingly for the taking.

Well, if the NOAH movie starring Big Russ (that's MISTER Crowe to you) is accurate, Noah (aka my mate Russ) wandered around the ark's interior 24/7 waving incense around and that kept the animals (and viewer enjoyment unfortunately) subdued.


message 488: by Laureen (new)

Laureen (laureenandersonswfcomau) | 478 comments Oh, I see Lance - I see incense Karma (sorry I meant calmer). But that opens more questions. How did Noah feed all those animals with a diet that suited? There must have been thousands of animals not to mention birds that like seeds as well as fruit.

Now, having fed the beasts & birds, they would all need to go to the bathroom. I get that Noah and his wife could hang over the side of the arc but think of all that effluent from the animals! No wonder big Russ was waving incense around! After a week, there would be enough poo to sink the Arc wouldn't you think? Not to mention having to step carefully I cased you drowned in it.

I can't wait for your insight Pateye. Your take is sure to have great words of wisdom. One must deliberate carefully before replying to this subject of all subjests.

Definitely not pleasant and mixing it with incense probably made it worse,

Laureen (laureenandersonswfcomau) | 478 comments HaHa. Maybe, my dreams are more like nightmares - I'll probably dream about drowning in poo.

Spielberg is resurrecting the dinos next month on the big screen though, ain't he?

James Morcan | 11380 comments What happened to the dinosaurs?
This Discovery Channel documentary may provide the answer: https://www.goodreads.com/videos/8454...

Problem is if a definitive answer regarding the dinos' demise is discovered, then it would end this seemingly infinite thread that was designed to last for eternity ;)


message 495: by Laureen (new)

Laureen (laureenandersonswfcomau) | 478 comments Love this thread! It is good to have something to put a smile on your face after a stressful day - I.e. apart from a nice glass of red.


message 496: by Laureen (new)

Laureen (laureenandersonswfcomau) | 478 comments P.S. We should rename this thread and call it "Discussions to Destress".

I dunno Laureen...When I start picturing those dinos (especially in 3D) chasing after me, it puts my blood pressure up...


message 498: by Laureen (new)

Laureen (laureenandersonswfcomau) | 478 comments Oh, we can't have that James! Maybe you could picture them as little plastic replicas instead. And get rid of those hideous 3D glasses.

3D glasses are hideous, I agree.
But when Spielberg's dinos jump outta the screen at you it's all worth it!!!!

p.s. Whoever said this thread was dead was wrong!
