On the "Wild West" programme last night Hugh F-W was talking to a chap who has been digging up and cleaning fossils of prehistoric critturs since he were a lad and was telling Hugh their names. If they are millions of years old how can anyone know what they were called?

Actually, Guilbert 53, because they're dead I suppose you can call them anything you like 'cos they can't hear you!
You should have put this in Jokes, Juniper.

Many thanks, Bookbinder. A serious answer!!!

You're welcome, JuniperEccles. I suppose that, when those critturs were roaming around, the locals gave them uncomplimentary names, such as 'that thing from the river; him what took your uncle', rather than something more refined.
