PARROT-LIKE DINOSAUR UNVEILED
John von Radowitz, Press Association (today)
A newly described dinosaur resembled a weird combination of parrot, vampire bat and porcupine.
Pegomastax africanus, which measured less than two 60 centimetres, lived in southern Africa some 200 million years ago.
Despite having a parrot-like beak and eating plants, it also sported vampire-like pairs of sharp-edged fangs.
Scientists believe the enlarged canines may have been used for self defence and competitive sparring.
Most of the dinosaur’s body was covered in sharp bristles, or quills.

An AFRICAN parrot, vampire bat and porcupine as a star candidate of the xenophobic movement without a name?
Now that’s progressive.
We also have politicians from the Jurassic period and they are preparing the electoral programme for the PL.
And those politicians say they have changed.
I don’t think so.
In fact, I think the current Malta Labour Party is an irrefutable evidence that Darwin’s theory of evolution is not true.
Why “two 60 centimetres”? Why not “four 30 centimetres”? Or “eight 15 centimetres”? The latter two are more familiar ruler sizes.
Maybe the paleontologist who discovered the fossil had a very long penis and had left his ruler at base camp.
The mistake should probably read “2 foot (60 centimetres)”.
Reminds me of Labour’s Joe Sammut wearing a jacket with thick tufts of dark hair clearly visible round his wrists.
Bedrock rules OK.
Why is it that so many men still insist on wearing a jacket on a short sleeved shirt?
Dr. Joe Mifsud of TVAM is one of them.
Palaeontologists are now looking for fossils of the closely related Pegomastax labor-movimentus.
Their search has now been narrowed down to an island in the Mediterranean and hopes of early success have risen. P. labor-movimentus can be disinguished from P. africanus by its much smaller brainbox.
Quills and bristles are replaced by a very thick skin.
It is also thought that it had very poor vision. These features are believed to have conditioned its behaviour, which after initial survival success soon led to its extinction.
Yesterday I asked Affari Taghna by email and on Facebook, to put the following question to Joseph Muscat: Is Joseph Muscat, if elected, going to reduce utility bills to the levels of 2008? I was completely ignored, and the question put was whether he is going to reduce such utility bills or not.
Today, I received a reply from Affari Taghna stating that no businessman is going to reduce prices to the levels of 2008. It seems that a government led by Joseph Muscat will only reduce utility bills by a small percentage and the electorate will be fooled as they were in 1996.
Unless water and electricity become cheaper at source, any reduction in bills would simply transfer the expense from the consumer to the taxpayer.
A Nationalist sees a ‘brains for sale’ sign on a Monti stall.
He goes over to investigate and sees a big sign that says ‘Nationalist brains Euros 8 a kilo – Alternattiva Demokratika brains Euros 20 a kilo – Moviment Graffiti brains Euros 40 a kilo – Mintoffian brains Euros 100 a kilo.’
So he asks the man behind the cash register, how come his brains are only worth Euros 8 whilst a Mintoffians’s worth Euros 100?”
The man replies, “Do you know how many Mintoffians it takes to make a kilo of brains, sir?”
The new candidate has already given his first press conference. Apparently he’s another Jurassic economist.

What’s the difference between Franco Debono and God?
God doesn’t think he’s Franco Debono..
Saw the pic in ‘Le Matin’, Swiss newpaper. It looks suspiciously like Joe Debono Grech’s grandfather.
The female of the species wears red lipstick and cappetti on all four limbs and sports a large tattoo on her hindside.
Are you referring to John Daewoo Dalli and Norman Hamilton?
Oh, he came to give the colpo di grazia. Do these people think we’re so gullible?
I tried to search for the word SARGAS in the report of both The Times and of MaltaToday but I had no luck.
”The replies that Commissioner John Dalli gave speak volumes. He confirms his hypocritical, arrogant, vindictive and lying character. He also confirms his professionalism in back stabbing, deceit and shameful public behaviour.
Commissioner John Dalli is such a compulsive liar that in his C.V. submitted to the E.U. Commission and published online, he stated that he was a lawyer for the World Bank in Washington DC from 1970 – 1995.”

Frankly, I would prefer the raptor Pegomastax africanus in government to Dr Austin Gatt. The former preys on those in his proximity whereas the more fearsome latter preys on all of us.

Here’s another star candidate

So, here she is telling us that the proposals haven’t even been decided, after a full blown congress where the direction and underlying principles should have been made clear and definite.
Underlying principles which should determine a philosophy and the distinction between what’s to be and what’s redundant, or better, the tools to at least define your idea of right and wrong.
And yet, they need another session of show of hands what civil rights are to be devoluted. It’s as if they aren’t even certain of their ideas, or capable of discerning what weight these should have.
‘Are you convinced that a Labour Government will give gay couples the same rights as married couples?
Labour is a democratic party. A decision has to be taken with the whole group. When you are planning a piece of legislation in that context, in a democratic context, you might not get exactly what you wish for.’
Excuse me Dr.Schembri, but, if you have to take it there, isn’t that up to the electorate to decide? Or is this answer a clear indication, make that a full blown admission, albeit casually dropped during an interview, of how you intend to work, namely use this newfound obsession with democracy in the party to restrict public opinion to the party to be able to introduce laws and legislation?
In other words are you saying that the legislative process according to you, will be reduced to a rubberstamp, given that democracy would have been exercised exclusively in the party anyway? I bet that’s why your party, (isn’t it?), has decided to blur the boundaries with the state. What difference is there, upon reason, between the ‘national movement’ and the nation itself?
Hilarious how you have to emphasize you’ve ALWAYS been Nationalist, and what, pray, is that supposed to mean? That the source of all its idiotic history lay within the old badge?
Or is it another teaser that Labour needs a good dose of PN to result palatable? How absolutely condescending.
What next Dr.Schmebri, the first female prime minister?
A very weird interview. She came across as a ‘Duh, not sure how to answer that, still ‘feeling’ my way. She will be devoured by the dinosaurs.
When a ‘true Nationalist’ crosses over, are all their brain cells sucked out by the reds?
