"Sheesh, I know all about meterologists!  One hundred 
and sixy-five million years ago the weather forecaster 
said, 'Fair and mild'. And so I took a long crawl.  
Look at me now!"

Conspiracy theories come and go, but the oldest, 
according to paleontologists, is the Great Quetzalcoatlus 
Scavenger Hunt Theory, first propounded 65 million 
years ago by a species of relatively small saurids who are, 
unfortunately, unattested by any known fossil record.

"I love Barack Obama," said Senator Coburn. "I think he's
a neat man. I don't want him to be president, but I still love
him. He is our President. He's my President. And I disagree
with him adamantly on 95% of the issues, but that doesn't
mean I can't have a great relationship. And that's a model
people ought to follow." This was just too good to last,
so five minutes later, Asteroid 2005 YU55 collided with
the Earth, causing the greatest mass extinction since the
end of the Cretaceous Period, 65 million years ago.

Paleontologists announced today the discovery of the fossil
remains of a new dinosaur species, Albertoceratops gonzalesi.
The discoverers say this species probably became extinct as a
result of chronic forgetfulness, until, one day, it apparently
forgot it existed.

If you're thinking about taking a vacation to Utah,
here are two reasons you shouldn't: Senators Orrin
Hatch and Bob Bennett. These guys are so Precambrian
in their worldview that they make trilobites look like
radical utopians.
