    Thought it was funny in a way...guess this village is in some remore area and people are still superstitious enough to believe in these 'flying dragons' and it's healing powers... But too bad for the scientists...

    Yes, it is quite sad. Think of all the fossils that ended up being some guy's dinner.
    Sort of weird to see Chinese villagers still believing in superstitions even though China is moving up in the world.

    ooh...this sounds very familiar....

    U have heard about the ancient chinese oracle bones?? with the ancient inscriptions ??

    the villagers used that as medicine too.....until one scientist/scholar' in the Ming? was sick and got these dragonbones as medicine before these bones were discoverd.

    Some westerners ate grinded mummies in the 19th century as they believe in the supposed healing powers. Tell the non-chinese that if they make jokes about the Chinese eating dino bones. ;)

    better than not grind and just eat them like steak -ohmy-ohmy
     
  19. That's like...eating a billion dollars...if people found dinosaur bones in the states or something, they can sell it to a museum for a lot of money!

    I am going to make sure my mom doesn't put dragon bone in my soup!
