    Question:
    Yes, Dinosaur is a real place. It is not too far from the Utah border.

    Answer:
    Hmm, Greyhound goes to Vernal Utah which is about 33 miles from Dinosaur, CO. I think Wilkins bus line also goes to Vernal. Hope this helps

    What is the nearest airport to Dinosaur, Colorado?
    Question:
    I had doubts about the name so I looked it up on MapQuest and there it was, plain as day. My neighbor says that is where her boyfriend is at and they are trying to find the cheapest way for him to get home in Ohio. So I am trying to find them some air/bus rates online. But first I have to know what is the nearest airport. Thank you for your help with this challenge.

    Answer:
    The closest airport that supports commercial flights is Vernal, UT, which is about 35 miles away. Great Lakes Aviation flies there, usually through Denver. They partner with United and Frontier. Depending on how far in advance he books, and where in Ohio he's going, it could be as low as $202 (one way). That was on Frontier to Dayton, and Cleveland was $217.

    what is the distance between Dinosaur National Monument and 4 Corners Colorado?

    Answer:
    About 340-350 miles down Routes 64 to 139 to 50 to 141 to 491 to 160.

    Dinosaur National Monument in Utah & Colorado. We will be traveling through that area in the summer.?
    Question:
    But I have heard that the visitor center and other things are closed. Do you know if this includes the tar pits? I tried contacting them directly, but just got a generic response.

    Answer:
    Firstly, the Dinosaur National Monument doesn't have any tarpits. That would be down in Los Angelos. Secondly, the visitor center on the Utah side, where the dinosaur bones were dug out, is closed, due to the building being condemned. I don't know of anything else being closed on the Monument. So, what is there to do at the monument? On the Utah side, you can see some displays that were moved down from the Visitor Center. You can also see 500-1000 year old petroglyphs (which, mind you, are some pretty fine ones). And you can visit Split Mountain. For that matter, you could even take a 1-day float trip through Split Mountain, if you wish, through one of the various boating companies in the area. If you continue West to Vernal, there is a Natural History museum on the East end of town, just as you enter it. For the Colorado Side, you can drive up to Harper's Corner, which gives you a great view of the Green River and Steamboat Rock. And, if you don't mind a little rough dirt road, you can go down into Echo Park, where you get a closeup view of Steamboat Rock and where the Yampa River meets the Green River. If you are a little bit more adventurous, you can drive East along the Yampa River and see sites along it.

    Will Barney the dinosaur do this?????????
    Question:
    okay you all know who I am I'm a little barney the dinosaur fan. I'm asking has anyone heard about this rumor thats going on. I don't know where the rumor came from but it talked about Barney the dinosaur buying a komatsu d335A bulldozer and armor plated it like marvin heemeyer did in grandby, Colorado on june 4, 2004. It's nickname is killdozer. I heard that barney would take this armored bulldozer and destroy peoples house that hate him only the barney haters not the ones who like him. You guys can argue all you want but I'm only asking you will he do it. thanks no i ain't no retard it's only a stinking question grow up if I like barney. at least I have common sense. I'm only asking about this rumor. I didn't make it some one else did. I only heard he was going to drive a armor plated bulldozer into barney haters houses that's all I know. the reason he'd do it because barney wants to be rated as the number 1 popular tv show in the us and the haters made him get 8th place instead , so he gets pissed and is wanting to do this. I'm asking you by your opinion will he do it. no more name calling. gosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hey now I don't take medication I never did. I'm a hippie not a drug popper. Now if you don't like peace and love you should have never answered it either yes are no answer to my question. no points for you

    Answer:
    Totally.

    Have people been abandoning Christianity since these church shootings in Colorado?
    Question:
    Have you seen any reports of people quitting the church, or are people saying this event is simply a challenge from god, like the dinosaurs, to see who really has faith?

    Answer:
    The world is a messed up place and has been since satan screwed up creation through Adam and Eve's weakness. If God intervened in every thing that happened in the planet I have no doubt that others would be saying that God doesn't give anyone a choice and that He is some kind of dictator. God showed He loved us by sending His Son Jesus to get us to come back to Him and love each other as He loves us. Believing in Him is voluntary - if people leave the faith cos of the shooting, they have that choice. I wonder how many people come to faith when they escape death? All through history, people shoot/kill others all the time (seems to be a hobby in the US at the mo') - that's a choice they make cos they are sick in the heart and in the mind God doesn't kill little children - men and women do...

    Who do you think would win in the 2008 election between...?
    Question:
    Based on the great choices we have had in the past, Clinton or Dole, Bush or Gore, Bush or Kerry, I have extrapolated the most likely contenders for the 2008 election. Your candidates are: Jar Jar Binks (Republican, Naboo) or Barney the Purple Dinosaur (Democrat, PBS) or Theodore Kaczynski (Green Party, Supermax prison, Colorado) Please remember, your vote does count. Unless there is some sort of legal challenge, voter fraud, ballot tampering, Florida, or some combination of the above.

    Answer:
    If these were the only choices on the ballot, I'd vote for Barney because I believe he would be honest to the point of being silly. He would cater to the younger generation, for sure. He would teach good morals, such as the "I Love You" song, and I doubt he'd be a negative or bitter leader. But, I'd hate to be his Secret Service Agent. I'm afraid he'd be shot within the first week in office. I would hope that Barney would pick a good running mate like Bugs Bunny. Bugs always gets out of jams, is intelligent, quick-witted, especially with one-liners, and is also quick on his feet.

    Why wasn't Ancient Sumeria credited with the contribution to the advancements of future civilizations?
    Question:
    I am 26 years old and I have been going to school for a long time and I was just wondering why I have never seen or heard discussions of the Sumerians in textbooks. I feel that they contributed alot to the human race and the only people who were credited was the Greeks, Romans, and the Babylonians. What gives, is this one of those deals where Museums throw the Artifacts in the basement because it doesnot fit mainstream beliefs as well as religous beliefs. I know that scientists and museums do this all of the time. Like the finding and recovery of a human foot print found directly next to a Dinosaur's foot print in either colorado or the Grand Canyon.

    Question:
    Distant space collision meant doom for dinosaurs By Will Dunham Wed Sep 5, 3:36 PM ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A collision 160 million years ago of two asteroids orbiting between Mars and Jupiter sent many big rock chunks hurtling toward Earth, including the one that zapped the dinosaurs, scientists said on Wednesday. Their research offered an explanation for the cause of one of the most momentous events in the history of life on Earth -- a six-mile-wide (10-km-wide) meteorite striking Mexico's Yucatan peninsula 65 million years ago. That catastrophe eliminated the dinosaurs, which had flourished for about 165 million years, and many other life forms, and paved the way for mammals to dominate the Earth and the eventual rise of humankind, many scientists believe. The impact is thought to have triggered a worldwide environmental cataclysm, expelling vast quantities of rock and dust into the sky, unleashing giant tsunamis, sparking global wildfires and leaving Earth shrouded in darkness for years. U.S. and Czech researchers used computer simulations to calculate that there was a 90 percent probability that the collision of two asteroids -- one about 105 miles wide and one about 40 miles wide -- was the event that precipitated the Earthly disaster. The collision occurred in the asteroid belt, a collection of big and small rocks orbiting the sun about 100 million miles from Earth, the researchers report in this week's issue of the journal Nature. The asteroid Baptistina and rubble associated with it are thought to be leftovers, the scientists said. Some of the debris from the collision escaped the asteroid belt, tumbled toward the inner solar system and whacked Earth and our moon, along with probably Mars and Venus, said William Bottke of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado, one of the researchers. DEADLY COLLISION The collision is believed to have doubled for a while the number of impacts occurring in this part of the solar system. In fact, while the bombardment of this region of the solar system due to this shower of debris peaked about 100 million years ago, the scientists said the tail end of the shower continues to this day. Bottke said many existing near-Earth asteroids can be traced back to this collision. "Imagine breaking up a big, big boulder on top of a hill and all the fragments rolling down the hill. And somewhere at the bottom is a village called Earth," Bottke said in a telephone interview. The dinosaur-destroying meteorite, thought to have measured 6 miles across, plunged into Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula and blasted out the Chicxulub (pronounced CHIK-shu-loob) crater measuring about 110 miles wide. The researchers looked at evidence on the composition of this meteorite and found it consistent with the stony Baptistina. The researchers estimated that there also was about a 70 percent probability that the prominent Tycho crater on the Moon, formed 108 million years ago and measuring about 55 miles across, also was carved out by a remnant of the earlier asteroid collision. Philippe Claeys of Vrije Universiteit Brussel in Belgium, who was not involved in the research, said by e-mail the findings were "clear evidence that the solar system is a violent environment and that collisions taking place in the asteroid belt can have major repercussions for the evolution of life on Earth." Bottke emphasized that point. "Dinosaurs were around for a very long time. So the likelihood is they would still be around if that event had never taken place," Bottke said. "Was humanity inevitable? Or is humanity just something that happened to arise because of this sequence of events that took place at just the right time. It's hard to say." I PERSONALLY WATCH THIS FILM ON AUSTRALIAN CHANNEL END OF LAST WEEK TOO. AND THEY DESCRIBE A LOT OF FACTS SUCH AS SEDIMENT & LEFT MARK BY THIS SPARKING COLLIDED ASTEROIDS, MORE FACTS & PERSUASIVENESS THOUSAND TIMES THAN YOUR ASSHOLE biilerlklflbllbllelbliblbblble. IF YOU BELIEVE IN SCIENCE, AND DINASOUR EXISTED HOW CAN U GOT biboblblbletllblble into your mind as our history of earth very older million years than what biblbbllbellblbottltltleboltttttle preach you??? Can we call of all christians & muslims as sheeps or dogs??? or donkeys???? at least when you meet some idiots around you. Tell me that in school you learn bibiblbotttltlebibblblbe or you should lear our science with theory of evolution to get into medical school???? Or all of you turn into 02 faces??? one in school with theory of evolution and one face in church on every SAT & SUN????? So, who is really double-face in daily life???? you - christians & muslims???? I SEE THAT MANY ANSWERS TO MY QUESTION WHICH COME A RISE THAT MANY IDIOTS NEED TO CIVILISE IN THOUGHTS THAN I THINK. THEY USE SCIENCE NOT BIBBLBBLBLELTLTLE TO EARN THIS LIVING, BUT THEY ARE UNGRATEFUL TO SCIENCE. I AM STILL DISGRACEFUL ABOUT ALL OF YOUR UNGRATEFUL ACTION & DOUBLE-FACE BEHAVIOR IN SCHOOL OF SCIENCE & IN CHURCH. MOST OF YOU GROW UP LIKE THIS, AND UNDERSTAND WHY YOUR SOCIETY MORAL IS DEGRADING DAYS BY DAYS UNDER BLATANT LIE.

    Answer:
    i dont dispute that at all .. i think the dinosaurs were part of a previous creation on earth and were destroyed by a possible asteroid collision ... bringing us into genesis when the earth was void and darkness was on the face of the deep ..

    why is marijuana's main chemical THCor Cannabinoids still illegal?
    Question:
    THC Ministry, Amsterdam - Info on Cannabinoids Dr. Robert Melamede, Ph.D. Dr. Robert J. Melamede Ph.D. Chairman of the Biology Department of the University of Colorado: Conducting Scientific research on Cannabinoids Phone: 719-262-3135 University of Colorado 1420 Austin Bluffs Parkway Room 232 PO Box 7150 Colorado Springs, CO 80933-7150 rmelamed@uccs.edu The Cannabinoid System has been around for over 600 million years. Before the Dinosaurs. The Cannabinoid System is continuously evolutioning and has been retained by all new species. Food and feeding is at the heart of the Cannabinoid System. 1. Cannabinoids are in every living animal on the planet above Hydra and Mollusks, with the exception of insects. Bodies are homeostatically maintained by the Cannabinoid System. 2. Mothers give their babies a booster shot of cannabinoids in mothers milk to give them the munchies because they have to learn to eat. (they've been fed thru the umbilical cord and did not have to know how to eat.) 3. Mice lacking the CB1 receptors don't like any changes. If they are moved to another part of the cage they act upset and when they are put back to the original spot in the cage they relax, but if then put into another part of the cage they get upset again. Comment: I wonder if people, especially drug warriors, had their CB1 receptors blocked then they would resist change and the ones of us that have unblocked CB1 receptors enjoy the benefits of cannabinoids are a lot more relaxed and not paranoid about or over change. Interesting thought. It turns out that that thought is absolutely correct. Many people' brains are not capable of a good connection to the CB1 CB2 receptors. 4. All new species utilize cannabinoids. 5. By being alive and breathing air our bodies produce "free radicals". Cannabinoids help to reverse this action. 6. Cannabinoids do kill brain cells, but the brain cells they kill are called "Glioma" or Cancer of the brain(Tumor). All other brain cells are protected and healed by cannabinoids. (Glioma cells cannot tolerate the action of cannabinoids) 7. Cannabinoids protect against sunburn and skin cancer because of the CB1 receptors in our skin. 8. Cannabinoids slow down the aging process. Mice that their brains respond to cannabinoids live longer and mice that have brains that block the CB1 receptors die younger. 9. Activity in the evolutionary advanced areas of the brain is increased in cannabinoids receptors and promotes higher consciousness levels. 10. Cannabinoids are even found in the white blood cells (CB2 receptors). The CB2 receptors are found predominantly on immunological cells and regulate the shift in the immune system to the anti-inflammatory mode. 11. Cannabinoids protect the heart against Arythmia. 12. The way it works on pain is there is specific nerves that deal with pain. They are called vanilloid-Receptors. Anandamide(sanscript word for "Blissful Amide"), the bodies internally produced marijuana binds with the nerve endings, reducing pain. Anandamides are produced internally by our bodies in response to a whole variety of conditions. As an example, Aspirin prevents the breakdown of Anandamide, the internally produced marijuana to activate & start working at easing pain. How many old lady's say they "WOULD NEVER" use marijuana & are actually using the equivalent of marijuana that their bodies produce as a natural activity, & don't even realize it. And how many politicians and citizens of the US do this also & aren't even aware they are condemning something that their bodies make naturally. Anecdotal evidence is valid because when a person smokes marijuana & it relieves their pain, then they smoke it again & it relieves their pain again it becomes a fact known only to that person, but nonetheless true. 13. In the case of most autoimmune diseases, the bodies immune cells produces free radicals & is destroying it's own body as a foreign object. Cannabis pushes the immune system into anti inflammatory mode & helps slow the progression of that disease, thereby slowing down the aging process. 14. Seizures are controlled by marijuana not only THC, but non-psychoactive cannabidiol.(CBD) The exact mechanism is not known, however HEMP is high in CBD's & can cancel out the psychoactive high of THC & at the same time benefits the user or smoker. Cannabinoids control everything in our bodies including our minds. 15. There are many other things that Cannabinoids do in the body, besides attaching to the CB1 and CB2 receptors, the main cannabinoid receptors in the higher part of our brain. Cannabinoids affect our skin and other parts of our bodies. 16. Pharmaceutical companies are working at sythesizing different cannabinoid components and different types of strains of marijuana. If they can succeed, then there will be more choices for you and I to choose from and we will be able to use what works best for our particular bodies.

    Answer:
    Cannabinoids have just been shown to combat drug resistant bacteria. The US Govt. itself, took out a patent (#6,630,507) on the beneficial and neuroprotective qualities of cannabis. Yet sick people are being arrested and jailed for using this medicine. What will it take to wake our elected officials up, and end the prohibition on this herb? Cannabis users are not criminal, and recreational users should not be ashamed because we prefer cannabis to tobacco or alcohol. 20,000,000 of us use cannabis at least occasionally each year. We must work together. Write to our elected officials. Write letters to the editor. Write one letter a week. Make it count. If we all do this, we can change these mean spirited and irrational laws.

    Can dinosaurs save creationist museums?
    Question:
    Excerpts from http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080118/ap_on_re_us/mastodon_auction; _ylt=Aq.Fk7KQ0rsuCgby1OCdKdOzvtEF " DALLAS - A Texas museum that teaches creationism is counting on the auction of a prehistoric mastodon skull to stave off extinction. " If it sells, well, then we can come another day," Joe Taylor said. "This is very important to our continuing." " Taylor said he's been financially crippled by about $136,000 he's been ordered to pay in a legal dispute over finder's rights to an Allosaurus skeleton unearthed in Colorado. " We've struggled so long here just to keep this thing going," Taylor said. "We're kind of losing interest. You can just tread water for so long." " The Heritage auction will also include other natural history items, including a 26-pound gold nugget found in Mexico that is expected to fetch at least $1 million."

    Answer:
    Sort of ironic isn't it? They are saving their silly little "museum" by auctioning off items whose history actually damages their whole "creation" myth. These people make me laugh,but that's really their only redeeming characteristic. AD
