...most paleontologists would be quick to correct people that the brontosaurus is not a dinosaur.

OK, I'll bite. What is it, then? An outboard motor? A sunbeam? A hamburger in waiting?

I just had to say “Schadenfreude” last night when my husband pointed out this.

With our son who has learned so much about dinosaurs in his short life of 7 years, we were reexposed to the latest fads in paleontology.

I was shocked that Brontosaurus was replaced by the poor name “Apatosaurus”. And that, I bet to avoid controversy, he was replaced as THE prime sauropod in children’s legend by Brachiosaurus, quite different from most sauropods.

Biologists - especially paleontologists - don’t know what they are talking about.

This is a totally inexact science. Nothing can be pinned down. In 50 years, they’ll start telling us those AREN’T feathers, but a unique structure on dinosaurs and has nothing to do with birds.

OMG

“two skeletons bared too many similarities”

“Bared”?

Idiots. “Bore”. As in the past tense of BEAR, not bare. Morons.

And these days, we really are supposed to trust any pronouncements of so-called “learned” people that can’t even get simple grammar right?

How can Pluto not be a planet anymore? I thought the science was settled?
