A young man from Nebraska strolled into York County District Court yesterday morning with one name, and strolled back out with another: Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Instead of creating cuddly animals that people might actually want (mini-giraffes for the home, hamsters large enough to put on a leash and take for walks), some Harvard University scientists are mixing up chicken DNA to make "embryos with alligator-like snouts instead of beaks." Great!

Newt Gingrich tweeted something marvelous the other day, in response to a typical, prodding liberal questioning his belief in dinosaurs: "not only do I believe in dinosaurs I had a t rex skull in speakers office to remind us they used to think they were important too." Bullshit. You had the skull of a Tyrannosaurus Rex

Paleontologists are very excited about the discovery of Linhenykus monodactylus, an eight-inch-tall, single-fingered relative of Tyrannosaurus rex, in China. What they don't seem to realize is that Linhenykus monodactylus looks really dumb and silly. Get some more fingers, loser!
