A claw fossil is found which the existence of an extinct eight foot long (bigger than a mini-cooper) water-based scorpion is extrapolated.

I read it like yesterday on reddit.com and just saw it on the BBC - decided someone else might like it. I mean, it's f**king huge!

Yeah. When I was younger I was really into cryptozoology - despite the fact I was a dumb little kid, I never believed any of it. I just thought monsters were bad ass. Shit like this makes me want to find monsters.
