		<description>I thought it was a rather curious/high-larious coincidence that you&#039;d have a photo of a &#039;flaming dinosaur&#039; the very day FoxNews ran this story: http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2012/04/02/when-dinosaurs-roamed-wildfire-was-foe/</description>

		<description>Though your &#039;idol&#039; was intended to be a prank, according to the Biblical Book of Numbers, Yahweh commanded Moses to indeed build an idol of a Seraph (fiery flying serpent), which the bible records was worshipped for many centuries all thorugh the glory days of David and Solomon, and only after its destruction by Hezakiah did Jerusalem fall to invaders.  Yahweh is described several places in the Bible with great wings, fiery breath, talon-like &#039;hands&#039; and a decidly carnivorous diet to include lamb, calf, first born children and captured Midianite virgins.  Was He actually a species of Pterosaur that survived the KT event and gave rise to the dragon legends we see around the world?   At one time, half the Chnristian world understood he was a &#039;dragon&#039;, and his image in that form can still be seen on the ancient depiction of the Menorah from Herod&#039;s temple.  In fact with its long neck these &#039;dragons&#039; looked a great deal like your sauropod-idol!</description>
