So?

His goose was cooked.

Guaranteed 6000 yrs old or less, or your first thousand years in Hell are FREE!!

Duck, duck, Holy Shiat!

The birds roamed the Al Coota area, north-east of Alice Springs

What? Giant geese found in Alice's Cooter area? Huh?

Duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, du- holy shiat!

and this story is intersting how?

Also spotted in America...

You can see the damn things now... Large flightless geese called "Canada Geese" are seen creating huge bowel movements at golf courses around Michigan... Presumably other states as well... Ugh, do those things suck.

Large flightless birds kick ass.

Small, flightless birds suck, But they keep showing up at my parties.

I don't know about you guys, but this sounds scary to me. Then again I have a fear of ducks, geese and the like.

What a gyp! This article says 150-200 kg each, or 330-440 pounds. The news screen in the elevators here at work said 1000 pounds!

Chipper, how the hell did you get that in there? I was posted at #4 and then dropped down.

"These, of course, are flightless birds and they looked rather like emus and ostriches or moas but, in fact, we found they're really related to ducks and geese," Dr Murray told ABC radio.

"In fact, they're giant geese, giant flightless geese, which, of course, makes them all the more peculiar."
Of course, Dr Murray could be full of shiat and not know what the hell you're talking about, but in fact everyone who read the article probably figured that out anyways.

Damn! Imagine the huge amounts of pate' the cavemen had at their posh pre-historic country clubs.

I want to see some pictures of the bones, or maybe an artist's conception of what the geese looked like.

Macman37: Canada Geese do fly, and yes, they do create lotsa poo.

Now we get to watch the nutty religious conservatives come out of the woodwork and say how all fossils are tools of the devil, and how this was just planted to tempt the weak of faith.

I got yer giant goose right here, biotch...

MacMan37 took the words right out of my mind. Thank goodness the Canadian geese here in Michigan don't weigh that much. Think of all the poop. Oy!

Macman37: "You can see the damn things now... Large flightless geese called "Canada Geese" are seen creating huge bowel movements at golf courses around Michigan... Presumably other states as well... Ugh, do those things suck."

Class, please note that Macman37 correctly refers to "Canada Geese" - they are not "Canadian Geese". There is no such thing as a "Canadian Goose". Kudos Macman37.

*Agrees with Squidward*
Why is it they never (and I do mean N-E-V-E-R) have pictures
with posts like this?! Let's have some idea on what the thing may have looked like!!

*foams at the mouth*

I remember reading about a similar finding of early fossil duck bits from Austrailia. It was actually a pretty interesting write-up (not like this one). They had dubbed it "Thunderduck" because it was 400 lbs., looked like a cross between an emu and a duck, and probably hunted large fish and small alligators (crocodiles, whatever) in the marshes that Austrialia use to contain. Paleolithic ducks hunting crocodiles! how cool is that?

Shanks Unclebuck!

Man..I would love to hump a giant goose...oh yeah...a giant fossilized goose...think about it..a nice big amount of goose goo all for you.

quack quack quack.

Woo-Hoo! Giant Geese! Giant Geese! Yee Haw!

That ol' trickster Geebuzz again. Planting "fossils" to make the scientists look stupid. What a cut-up.

I can already see the script.

Finds that are reported before a scientific paper is written on the specimen usually lack reconstructions or even pictures of the bones... and the media rarely will "replay" a fossil discovery once the paper is out just to show the new pics.

I'll try to track down megagoose pics...
