I specifically remember Mrs. G talking to us about a possible reference to Dinosaurs in the book of Job.

Job 41 is often seen as a reference to a large dinosaur of some type; I have never once heard a Creationist deny the existence of dinosaurs.

Understandable, she had a different one every day.

Why get rid of the character limit? We're modern now!
