...strange tracks were in sandstone laid down as mud during the Pennsylvanian Age more than 200 million years ago. They must have been made by an amphibian, for no dinosaur or other sizable reptile was alive then. And it must have been a very curious beast. The tracks, 20 pairs of them, have round heel prints about three inches in diameter. Flaring out in front are two wide-spreading, clawless toes about 5½ inches long and two little toes1½ inches long.

Perhaps modern man may still see one. Ley cites many descriptions of a dinosaur-like creature that may be roaming the Central African swamps...
...Hope's is far and away the standout. He blows bubbles through a cornet. He even gets the mouthpiece stuck on his lips, which is certainly a new one from his bag of tricks. And when he pulls off a crack about Congressmen with all the finesse of a dinosaur laying an egg, he is really tops...
