Dinosaurs
The Queue: Jurassic World must be stopped
Not for what they do in the modern world with their resurrected ‘dinosaurs’ that are decades out of date by this point. Featherless Dromaeosaurids? Whatever, it’s dumb, but I can ignore it.
Huge new fossil of carnivorous Spinosaurus dinosaur found, just in case you need nightmare fuel
Fossils of several new Spinosaurids have been found on the Isle of Wight in England, including one which may be the largest theropod -- the group of carnivorous dinosaurs including T-Rex -- ever discovered.
Over 100 fossilized dinosaur eggs have been found in Argentina, and it could change our understanding of how dinosaurs lived
If you aren't big into paleontology, you may not understand why new evidence that Mussaurus patagonicus -- an early Jurassic Sauropodomorph related to later Sauropods like Diplodocus -- was a herd animal that lived in large social groups that broke themselves up by age is such a big deal.
Your Dinosaurs Are Wrong is a delightful look at everything that’s wrong about pop culture dinosaurs
Many of the creatures we think of as "dinosaurs" are wrong.
Australotitan confirms the widespread range of the Titanosaurs
We all know I love dinosaurs, so it shouldn't surprise you that I'm about to write one more, because the discovery of and description of Australotitan is a big deal for more than just the behemoth's size.
Why I’m sad to see Stan, the famous T-Rex specimen, sell to a private collector for $31.8 million
Okay, if you're into paleontology at all, even just as a nerdy layman like myself, seeing the news that "Stan," one of the most famous Tyrannosaurus specimens in the world, has been sold to a private collector for a big ol' pile of money -- $31.8 million USD to be exact -- will likely cause you to have opinions.
The Queue: Only through the elimination of violence
So I watched The Velocipastor last night.
It’s not a good movie, but it is an astonishing watch. It’s a movie that knows just how weird, potentially bad, and completely off the rails it is. Saying it’s funny feels disingenuous — it’s a movie that is very deliberately crackerjack, a film that will present you drug dealing religious zealots from China who are also Ninjas in a battle against a disillusioned Catholic Priest who cuts his hand on a dinosaur tooth and becomes, well, you’ve seen the title of the movie.
Anyway, this is the Queue.
What is the weirdest question you’ve seriously asked yourself about Shadowlands?
For me it's dinosaurs.
Prehistoric creatures that should be in World of Warcraft
World of Warcraft already has itself quite a few dinosaurs, but a recent news story about a new Spinosaurus tail fossil and what it means for the lifestyle of the dinosaur in question got me thinking.
Off-Topic: The Reaper of Death is the most metal-sounding dinosaur ever
I live in Alberta.
