It is hard to take them seriously when they still refer to the Brontosaurus. Other than children's coloring books, no one has called the Apatosaurus that in decades.

I'm with Steven J Gould on this one. "Thunder Lizard" is too good a name to lose. Rule of Cool applies.

Gould is a great writer. I don’t always agree with him, but I teach his essays in college on a regular basis.
