Dong said when the villagers found out last year the bones were from dinosaurs, they donated 200 kilograms to him and his colleagues for research. Over the last two decades, the villagers had dug up an estimated tonne of bones.
Once they found out they weren't from real, flying dragons they didn't want them anymore. Plus, all the people who'd been cured got sick again.
Puff, the magic dragon lived by Yangtze
And frolicked in the autumn mist in the old Ruyang County,
Little villager Lee loved that rascal puff,
And dug him up and groung him up and made him into stuff. oh

All over they would use him, collecting parts into a pail,
Alive he woudnta been happy, when they groung up his tail,
Noble kings and princes would eat him when they cramped,
Villagers would put him on bones when their flag wouldn't raise. oh!

A dragon lives forever but not so naievete
Painted wings and ground bone paste make way for other things.
One grey night it happened, Dong Zhiming came to prove
That Puff that mighty dragon, was just a dinosaur.
It turned out he wasn't a dragon, green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer got ground up to fix kids living on the lane.
Without the belief in him, Puff was not a cure,
So Puff that mighty creature was slipped out to Zhiming. oh!

Weeell, us old farts can't rely on memory, you know. I thought I'd encountered that factoid in some (unremembered) context, and since I don't have the item in question on hand, I checked Google.
What do you expect from people who eat eels and all kinds of weird animals?
And first again?

Posted by: ArcticAl | July 05, 2007 at 05:16 PM
I wonder why Dong seems to be such a popular name over there?
