The mother of all mice...
« on: January 16, 2008, 03:17:21 PM »

LONDON (AP) - Imagine a rodent so big it weighs a ton and is the size of a bull. Uruguayan scientists say they have uncovered fossil evidence of the biggest species of rodent ever found, one which roamed South America about 4 million years ago, when the continent was still an island. A herbivore, the beast may have been a contemporary - and possibly prey - of saber-toothed cats in a prehistoric version of Tom and Jerry.

Surely it's just a trick of the Devil to mislead the faithful.

That's the truth.

Ah it was probably some prehistoric cow and the just put the bones together wrong and got something different ;)  but really that would not be the first time something like that has happened.
