Neanderthals

You're right... They supposedly threw the carcass overboard, I forgot that was the initial story I'd heard too when I learned of this thing.... But don't you find it odd that they would do such a thing? I mean, when you find this crazy sea monster (as far as the fishermen were concerened).... I think they would have kept it, and brough it in. I mean come on, they were excited enough to take pictures and measurements, and keep tissue samples, but they said "oh well, guess that's all we need, better throw this thing back. I mean, hey, we've got a strange sea monster here but, who cares." I don't think you can out rule a cover up about this. But whatever, I'm sure you'll see that as laughable.

Okay Okay, you guys win, I'm done here. I guess I have no choice but to jump on board with you guys. I mean you guys are right, the fisherman woulnd't be interested in catching something that appears to be an unknown sea monster (whether it was or not).... The fisherman just worried about the fish... Not fame or rewards that or anything that would come with discovering something potentially huge... Nope, gotta get those fish, so you're right, it's logical that they dumped it over board. Especially because it was huge enough in Japan that they even put it on stamps and everything, but no a couple of fisherman didn't find it all that fascinated, they'd definitely throw it overboard, you're right. And I'm glad you point out that you can't compare the bones because they were thrown overboard, but you want to claim to know the munber of vertebrae, etc. etc. You're right, you know from a couple pictures "facts" on it's decay patterns and about tissue samples, of course. But it's cool, don't worry about acknowledging the full findings of scientists who studied the tissue, etc.... Don't worry about that, no one needs to know that. Just tell everyone the only way you can explain it is a basking shark, that'll be a lot easier. I mean, you know everything that happened millions of years ago, so why should this be any different. Whatever, you guys spin everything like a top and I don't have time to keep responding because there are like 5 of you and I just simply need to do more work than argue with you. I'm sure you guys will be happy congratulating each other. Drink that cool aid folks... Drink it up.

Mark,
Listen... You're clearly angry... I don't know what posses you to fly off the handle in that last post if as you say that no one is taking me seriously. And if they aren't, then why didn't everyone just ignore me. Everytime I get on here there is someone else on your side trying to tell me I'm stupid. I spend so much time trying to argue stupid side things and mis-representations of what I said, I can't even get into the real issues half the time. I'm done posting here, and I know you think it's cuz you won... But again, I say, I just don't have time for this... I can't keep coming on and having people pick and choose things I say, and lie and spin them, and outright make things up, it's just becoming such a huge waste. I started off with someone using their whole post to call me basically a christian bible based idiot, when I'd never even mentioned anything religion or christian related. You people just lash out instead of really answering questions posed, so I'm done. And by the way Mark24, did I ever claim that it was a Plesiosaur... You people are so angry you like to put things on people that really aren't there. You wanna act like I've been just saying "Oh it's a Plesiosaur, it's defintely a Plesiosaur".... I've just wanted you to prove it wasn't, which from what I've read elsewhere isn't provable. I would like to show you numerous places where the evidence shows inconclusiveness, but I don't want to continue this debate because you people hardly ever want to stick to the issue. Believe me I want to, but every half hour I come on here and have 2 or 3 of you spouting off about me saying this or that, instead of getting to the issues. I'm not saying you never do, and that you don't have a right or some "evidence" to believe in, but it's few and far between when you like to bring it out. I'm out.....
