    Again, not arguing that. But the translation of "dinosaur" is "terrible lizard". It doesn't matter what they actually *are*, what matters is what dinosaur translates to. That's all.

    Dude, I am pretty much doing the first sentence in the quote because you're making it way too complicated than this needs to be. As I stated before, yes, I recognize that not all dinosaurs are lizards and when the term was coined way back when, it was based off of a few fossils that looked...

    Gatecrash Intro Packs: Spidey (Boros Battalion) vs Mooseman (???)

    Your elf dies, but I got nothing else. Good game! I thought I could beat you down but you kept putting out creatures... Do you want to start a new one or hold off until things are calmer at home?

    Oversoul: Dude, I'm not arguing over what people thought things meant way back when or what they mean now. All I said was that "dinosaur" means "thunder lizard" and I was half right - it means "terrible lizard/reptile". "-saur" means "lizard" back then and today. Period. And Pikachu is...

    I agree that it's an inaccurate label, the wiki entry says that Owen meant for the term to mean "majestic" or whatever (I'm not clicking the link again to find out specifically). But technically speaking, since you said and it does, (or reptile), strictly translated.

    You can only sacrifice a permanent you control. It's implicit in the definition of sacrifice.

    Whatsthepoint-Fireball: Huh? Discussion

    Didn't I say in my comment that I used my magic powers? Or did disabling comments mean you can't read them either? /goes to check... Huh, I guess not... the comment reply must be tied to the list of comments themselves. Definitely needs a code re-write... Basically what I said was that I...

    Too late! :D I'm going to rebut and say you're half-right: "dino" does mean "terrible" but "saur" still means "lizard" (or "reptile"). So I guess I was half-right too. Dinosaur wiki (and gives a couple footnote references) You're saying it should be a Spider? :D

    Ok, the spammers found the article submission page/form and have started using that since I turned off the replies. Since Ed doesn't have time nor the inclination to recode the front page stuff, all I can do is remove the submission button from the form and hopefully that will stop the spam...

    Well, dinosaur does mean "thunder lizard". So lacking a dinosaur type and reptile type, they just picked lizard out of it. :D
