Archaeologist Discovers Preserved Dinosaur In Refrigerator

Whistler's Mother, Montana (NBp) - Archaeologist Emma Girelli was at area resident Joe Lippey's house for dinner yesterday and casually commented that the house looked and smelled like a cave. Then, she realized that the house was, in fact, built into the rock on a hill. As she looked around the house, she opened the refrigerator and discovered some leftover 68 million year old stegosaurus.

"I had always thought that the refrigerator was put in by one of the previous owners," explained Lippey. "Now that you mention it though, it does look more like a box carved out of the rock than a normal fridge. I generally don't have much more in the fridge than some milk or eggs."

Girelli took a small sample from the stegosaurus specimen, the first evidence of dinosaurs not in fossil form, and sent it off to a lab for analysis. Then, Girelli and Lippey proceeded to finish off the leftovers.

"As I suspected," Girelli began, "it was quite salty. Even back then they used salt to preserve their food."

"Everybody says it, but it really did taste like chicken," said Lippey.

The lab reports that the sample was not large enough to analyze fully and that it probably would have been better if they had not eaten the rest. A disappointed Girelli has announced plans to tour other Montana refrigerators.
