"you know you have a lot of prehistoric figures if you have at least twenty items per page of the prehistoric/dinosaur section on ebay." - anon.

That seems a little . . . iffy. How could the yolk possibly last six months?

Good question. Even the biggest eggs are not that big.
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

I suspect they really cherry picked the comments from the lead author.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Well, that is not something new. The media always does that. But I guess one expects something called "Science" to be a bit better in that regard.

Typical new year page filler, must have been a slow news day!

This looks like it could be a big find. Already made it onto NBC news. The article is short but very informative.
http://www.nbcnews.com/science/science-news/why-did-dinosaurs-die-out-answer-could-be-their-teeth-n702791

"3,000 km to the south, the massive comet crashes into Earth. The light from the impact fades in silence. Then the shock waves arrive. Next comes the blast front. Finally a rain of molten rock starts to fall out of the darkening sky - this is the end of the age of the dinosaurs. The Comet struck the Gulf of Mexico with the force of 10 billion Hiroshima bombs. And with the catastrophic climate changes that followed 65% of all life died out. It took millions of years for the earth to recover but when it did the giant dinosaurs were gone - never to return." - WWD
