WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Scientists have found the remains of one of the
weirdest creatures ever discovered -- a big flying reptile that lived during the time of the dinosaurs that snapped up fish with a scissors-like beak as it skimmed over the water and had a head crowned by a huge, bony crest.
The find is important both for the oddity of its cranial crest and for the insight that the animal offers into how pterosaurs hunted for food, the researchers said. They named it Thalassodromeus sethi (pronounced thal-ahs-oh-DROH-mee-us SETH-ee), meaning "sea runner" and "Seth," for the ancient Egyptian god of evil and chaos.

So now I know whats going on the flag when I take over the world...
Not quite sure what anyone can add to the thread, but it is interesting.
Can I make a plea here for the establishment of a committee of Brazilians to name every newborn baby worldwide in future. They're so good at it. With Diogenes for a first name, any child is bound to grow up to do great things!
Me too. I want to conjure up my own personal furry lizardbird. I could take it shopping with me. "This is a 9 items or less queue, buddy, and I see eleven items in your basket! Maybe Lizardbird here can teach you to COUNT!"
Seriously: this is a very invoke/evokableable critter but under what circs would you use it? What does 6-foot-long flying reptile represent in magickal terms?
I can just see the headlines now... "BONES OF SATAN FOUND!"
