Dino Photo?
Logic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
Ms. Tina Gull, who is notorious for her gullibility, asked her friend the detective a question.
"Detective Brown, I met a man who found a cave painting. He gave me and a friend the opportunity to buy it from the archaeological team. Are you interested in going in on the deal with me?"
Detective Brown thought for a moment and asked Ms. Tina,
"What was this painting of?"
Ms. Tina answered, "There are two cave people going hunting. One has a spear and the other a bunch of stones. They are stalking a dinosaur. Then, in another picture, they are actually killing the thing, throwing the spear and everything!''
Detective Brown thought for a while and politely told her he wouldn't go in on the deal and advised her not to either as this was a scam (again).
Why did he say this?
HintThink about what the cave people were doing.

Answer
The cave painting has to be fake. If it was drawn by ancient people, they would not have known dinosaurs had existed, as dinosaurs died out about 63 million years before the first hominid evolved.

| There is a place in Texas where one can see the footprint of a dinosaur and the footprint of a man side by side. Many scientists have concluded the footprints are authentic and real. This then contests your entire teaser since they obviously did live at the same time. Really good try but not really very factual. |

| I agree that dinosaurs didn't die out almost billions of years ago. They probably died out thousands of years ago, but not millions. |

| Oh, and another thing I just caught...
Humans didn't evolve from monkeys or chickens, weirdo. If we did, then PROVE IT! |

| OK kids, let's gather round, it's Laffy Taffy joke time. I seriously just heard this one... Why did the dinasour cross the road? Because there were no chickens! Or was it monkey-chickens |

| prove we didn't Nightmare. besides there is no way to ever PROVE anything scientific. You can only do studies and experiments to support it. The only thing you can ever truly PROVE is that something is false. as for the footprints. just because they are side by side does not mean the creatrs existed at the same time.
How many people answering these teasers have taken any kind of science classes? |

| It was a "two minute mystery" one with dr unprounouncable. and as soon as i read the answer (which i already knew) i wondered how many people were going to be arguing about the whole "evolution" thing... |

| Who cares? Did you get the answer or not? If so...good for you...and if not...oh well!! I personally am "a mis-guided creationist", but don't really think this is the forum for that particular argument... if I don't like a teaser, I just move on...no need to get personal or mean....that's not what this is about, and it never solves anything... (now getting down off soap box)  |

| when it comes down to which is true....evolution or creationism...faith is the deciding factor.evolution has not been proved and cannot be.it was not observed by humans. both theories HAVE to be accepted by faith, there IS no other way ... man could have hunted dinosaurs...lol |
