From The Ridiculous To The Gross–China
Posted by: From Arkansas in Are You Kidding Me?, Beyond Bizarre on Jul 04 2007
Welcome back!
All I can say is no wonder we are getting poisoned foods and other things from them. Villagers in China have been using boiled dinosaur bones to use in potions for healing and other theraputic uses. They believed that the bones were “dragon bones” and cooked em up for medicines.
When they made up the potion, it was fed to children for leg cramps and dizziness. At other times, it was made into a paste and used directly on a fracture or open sore. YUK!!!
Then the scientists entered the picture. The villagers found out that their “dragon bones” were actually just dino bones. They could not get rid of them fast enough. Gave them to the professor at the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
All I can say here is that I do not want to have any dragon soup!
