Lost in translation

(Hrmmm! -->_Anywho_<--)

Don't think there is any. But I can take a crack at translating (I'm 
Portuguese).

During a discussion over the creationism/evolution debate a lad reffers seeing 
at a farmer's house rocks that looked like bones. The Biology professor was 
intrigued by that information for a few days. 
He decided to take his camera and went to the farmer's house. After some 
bartering, the farmer showed the professor a room with the floor covered in 
fossil bones. The teacher identified a vertebra as not from an elephant as the 
farmer thought but from a sauropod's tail.
So the paleontologist that sent this article to the list was called. The 
factuality of the find confirmed and that particular vertebra identified as a 
new species of sauropod.

Hope this satisfies you,
