The Saudi Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice is a religious police force that has been a constant presence in the Kingdom arresting woman having coffee with colleagues or forcing young girls to burn to death in fire rather than run out without their scarves. Now the religious police in Dammam marched into a popular dinosaur exhibit and shut it down without any explanation of why the dinosaurs threatened the virtue of good Muslims.
The religious police reportedly had marched into the educational exhibit featuring plaster models of dinosaurs and turned off the lights — causing panic among the children who found themselves in a dark room with dinosaurs and screaming men.
It is not clear if one of the dinosaurs was the “horny dinosaur” recently discovered in Utah (no not former Senator Larry Craig).
This triggered tweets from Saudis like “Dinosaurs are a paleontological life form from an ancient geological era, and our clerics are a paleontological life form from an ancient social era.” The tweets after the bizarre incident demonstrates why the Kingdom is joining authoritarian governments like China and Iran to seek limits on social media and Internet sites.

Anon Yours,
Keystone rerouted the pipeline and Nebraska now favors the pipeline and asks that the feds approve it.

Woe is me!!! I remember Dinah Shore from her TV talk show.
Evolution is wrong… I am becoming a Dinosaur !!!
This is all about a mistake in language or interpretation. They dont like Dinah Shore. Simple.
Firstly, all dinosaurs were probably horny as evidenced by the fact they ruled the Earth for about 165 million years.
Secondly, none of these dinosaurs are wearing hijabs. How can you expect men to control themselves around such manifestly sexual creatures if they don’t cover their faces?
No one seems to remember Dick Cheneys last ditch attempt to corral Iraqi oil. He went there in person to try! He was only stopped by a huge protest by the Iraqi Oil Union.
