Paul Riddell links this article on Creationists who dig up dinosaur bones. There are a lot of nifty howlers here, but this stood out:
"We think dinosaurs were part of the normal Creation and were just big lizards. Noah took some of them on the Ark, probably babies, when the floods came...Throughout history, there are stories of people killing the animals that survived but they called them dragons."
Yup, that's right. Had the Arthur legends played out as Messrs. Lerner and Loewe envisioned, when Lancelot sings about how a Knight of the Table Round should "cleave a dragon in record time", he was talking about a T-Rex. Yup. That's the ticket. But I also envision Noah, telling his charges: "Grab a couple of the baby ones, but don't let their mother see you do it. Big teeth and all."
