Funny fundie - dinosaur story from work today

So I am on the Secretary of state of Maryland site today an see an interesting link about "State symbols".
The official state boat is a Skipjack, the official state sport is jousting, the official state cake is the Smith Island cake, and the official state dinosaur is the Astrodon johnstoni (the first identified dinosaur in Maryland).

I end up a short time later at our postage machine. As an interesting, I hope, aside I relay this information to the two people working there. Both are blindly religous types. One marks time by "when I was saved" the other came to where I work via a coworker at a non-denominational strip mall church.

I mention the dinosaur part and she says, "Dinosaurs? From imagination land????". Totally gleeful and happy in the comfort of what she has been told to believe.

I smiled, nodded, and changed the subject.

1. Imagination land? Really? Jeebus, first time I've heard the nuttiness phrased in such a way.

A mind IS a terrible thing to waste.

These types really do need a good rapturing.

Ask your co-worker, what could possibly be more awesome (and biblical), than jousting while riding an Astrodon Johnstoni?
