Last seen… [fill in the blank]
There has to be a good caption for this pic, beginning, “Last seen….” If you think of a humorous one, stick it in comments. Thanks.
Scientists said Friday they found a major cache of bones and likely complete skeletons of the long-extinct Dodo bird, which could help them learn more about the lost creature’s physique and habits.
The find is significant because no complete skeleton of a single Dodo bird has ever been retrieved from a controlled archaeological site in Mauritius. The last known stuffed bird was destroyed in a 1755 fire at a museum in Oxford, England, leaving only partial skeletons and drawings of the bird to go on.
The Dodo’s name comes from a Portuguese word for “fool,” so named because the bird showed no fear of humans….
Yep, that’s the definition of “fool,” all right.

Wow, For the win! Funniest thing i’ve read all day.
Now understood to be the brains in the Whitehouse.
If we are going to go Jurrasic Park, I think it’s better to test it on Dodos first. If something goes wrong, we know we can make them extinct again.
Last seen going the way of the….(oh nevermind).
And do not forget that Dodo’s were supposed to be Tasty!
Last seen in one of the better Looney Tunes cartoons, the one with the Salvador Dali watches and Porky Pig…

Where’s that famous huge breast bone? And why no side views? It’s awfully scrawny lookin’ for such a supposedly beefy and delicious beastie. Wassup? Last seen at a Weight Watchers? Also, the nose looks nothing like the classical drawings. Last seen at the plastic surgeon’s office? Perhaps the Dodo was really a mafia informant and is now simply on the avian version of the Witness Protection Program. Perhaps its looks were altered to bring it more in line with being a “stool pigeon”. I’m thinking you’ll find it was just a fancy breed of some other still-existing bird, much like the Rock Ridge pigeon can be bred to genetically liberate some of the wildest birds you’ve ever seen and which look nothing like the Rock Ridge parent. Remember, there’s Big money in finding a “new species”. As long as there is more money in research than in finding the result, evolution will always have field researchers willing to compromise their integrity much like cancer researchers will never find a cure… they simply aren’t really looking… ask anyone waiting for an AIDS cure.
