Mar 30 2009Students Attempt Dinosaur Theft, Fail
A group of students, celebrating the end of a school course, decided to steal a life-size triceratops replica from the Dinosaur Museum in Dorchester, England. Unfortunately, they didn't get very far before being stopped by the man. Which is a shame, because I would have bought it from them on the black market.
Deciding to relocate it in the middle of a roundabout as a joke, they set about lifting the 20ft long and 10ft tall plastic triceratops. But just as they carried it off above their heads into the night, they were stopped in their tracks by a policeman.
The revellers were ordered to take the dinosaur back immediately otherwise they would have been arrested for theft and criminal damage.The Dinosaur Museum in Dorchester is packed full of life-sized reconstructions of dinosaurs, alongside skeletons and fossils.
The museum's website says the models 'beg to be touched by little hands - and that is encouraged, as is the handling of some of the dinosaur fossils.'
What the? *booking flight to England* Hello, Dinosaur Museum? Yes, I was wondering about the possibility of renting out your facility for a private party. Number of guests? One. Also, is there a pharmacy nearby? I'm gonna need some lube. Oooh, and boner pills.
Hit the jump for one more of the sexy shenanigans.

Thanks to Bungo and Jonathan, who promise to help me steal a dinosaur replica just like they did in that movie, The Italian Job. Well, the way they should have made it.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Bacvk Down where Max was riding a giant worm, by standing on its back and steering it with hooks wedged under its segments. Several of his friends are also on the worm, they are going to a war, and fighting with sounds. Because Max's mom always said don't use your fists, use your words.

@Daisy
+2 for the Dune reference. Dune kicks the shit out of all those other sci-fi series with "star" in their name.

This was reported by The Daily Mail, of course, which means it probably didn't happen.

You know a great difference between an adult male and an adult male dinassour replica? The latter can "beg to be touched by little hands - and that is encouraged" while the first would just go to jail if he tried. Pedofile horny replica bastards.
