"Centaurs really existed" argue researchers.

Alexander Guryev says that researchers have no whole centaur skeletons but lots of upper and lower parts of centaurs skeletons.

Alexander Guryev says that researchers have no whole centaur skeletons but lots of upper and lower parts of centaurs skeletons.

So they have parts of human skeletons and parts of animal skeletons.



That article though sometimes interesting is very disturbing.

[Space Chief]

And they also discovered an ancient race of skeleton people.

[Style]

I think the last line of the article confirms it was written as a joke, (Lots of upper and lower parts of a Centaur skeleton indeed!) But, if it isn't, then it's based around some unsound reasoning, including:

-The idea of ancient man having no imagination, and
-There appears to have been some ugly racism in that article.

People, disregard and move along.

So those Greek Myths about Centaurs are true? Interesting...

[Elven Moon]

Next they'll find horse bones and claim Unicorns are real

This sums up my thoughts pretty well.

[Kurtman]

Ummmm............Is this another Weekly World News joke?

[solarflere]

Some people (creators of the article) sure have a wild imagination [refer to the last line of my sig], and some people actualy beliave everyhting they say. Nothing to see here, move along.

[Aquadementia]

Well, if it's Pravda telling me it's so, it must be true!

I didn't even accept their cookie.

It's kind of funny to read, but the English edition should be called "I can't believe it's a newspaper!"

At least I enjoyed the alternative interpertations of history.

[Scythemantis]

Pretty obvious and rather boring prank, the ending line is the only funny part.

[G. Wen]

So how many of these "The Onion"-like sites are there?

[MonkeyFunk]

I wouldn't say it's a prank per se, more of a particularly sensationalistic tabloid garbling something. A quick Google search confirms that this Christopher Chippendale guy does actually exist; I'm guessing that this is just a small theory he half-seriously put foreward, and some Pravda journalist jumped on it.

Brings to mind the old Soviet saying: No pravda in Tass and no Tass in Pravda.
