CanadianBacon 2,088 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 always funny when people think the world is "billions" of years old. Thousands,maybe Yeah. I was in the Glasgow Art Gallery & Museum not so long ago and they had these large prehistoric specimens on display.Some of them only became extinct last Tuesday.The Dinosaur only became extinct last August.Hence the mix up between billions and thousands, possibly.
