The remains of a prehistoric reptile that was “as long as a bus, with teeth larger than cucumbers ... in a head that could swallow an adult human whole,” have been discovered on an Arctic island, Norwegian researchers said Thursday.

Doesn't it pisses you off, when an article like that comes out, and theres just a lame drawing of what the thing would have looked like instead of actual pictures of the remains ??? :evil:

For god sake, researchers can't afford digi-cameras or what ???

And then you have to find that tiny button to press when you want to take the picture with you GLOVES on because it like 40 below zero...

(take one for science: take your glove off, take the picture, and have the finger freeze to the trigger!)

Quote from article:
"Twenty-seven other marine reptiles were also found during a two-week expedition: 21 long-necked plesiosaurs, sea reptiles similar to drawings of the Loch Ness monster, and six ichthyosaurs, reptiles that looked like fish and had fins."

It's amazing the creatures that have become extinct during the evolution of the planet...maybe someday we'll find the reamains of Godzilla on a Japanese island.

It would really be cool (and scary) to see have some of these creatures...there is nothing living today (that I can think of) that approaches the size of these beasts.
