Wedding Dinosaurs!

People at the Museum of Natural History = Not impressed with my master decorating plan.

Hey, they got a new dinosaur!

He's called 天宇龙, and he's from China! In English all the dinosaurs have "saurus" on the end, but in China they all have "龙" on the end because they are "龙." 恐龙！

Anyway, this guy lived in China, had feathers and was a herbivore, and he was tiny. You could pick him up like a chicken.

I don't really like this picture that the scientists made, so I'll make a new one and put that up.

Philly Needs More Dinosaurs

All there is is that one hardosaur at the Natural History Museum, and the raptors they have out front.

Keith told me that the city of Pittsburgh is nothing but dinosaurs everywhere you turn. Then Dan told me that Pittsburgh is where Carnegie Institute dinosaurs come from, and they are the best. Also, Maloney comes from there, and although he's not a dinosaur, it still completes the trifecta which says: Pittsburgh is rad.

Then, today, I get this email from Rat:
"Dude, saturday is Dinosaur Day in Seattle. All the museums are having EXTRA DINOSAURS. "

Alright, Philly. Step up the Dinosaurs. Maybe you can get some with that money that Obama's going to give Mayor Nutter.

Watch your back!

I don't know what I like more, the giant sea scorpion, or the diagram.

They look like they're waiting for a bus.

Migratory Patterns of The Arts and Sciences Room

The weather is changing and the dinosaurs who live on the air conditioner all summer are starting their annual journey to the windowsill.

P.S. RE: Your Ancestors

According to the BBC, your distant ancestor, the one who first evolved the brain which you probably find very useful today, was a guy called Cephalaspis.

And what was Cephalaspis?

A plecostomus.

Are you interested in things which are awesome?

Then you might want to watch the BBC's Walking Walking With Dinosaurs.





Because if you can get over the minor drawbacks of:

1. Questionable credibility of dinosaur facts.
2. Gimmicky stuff like guts "hitting the camera"
3. Occasional imposition of contemporary western values on prehistoric creatures, and
   
4. Kenneth Branagh

Then you are in for about 6 hours of non-stop awesome. When you are done, you may watch "Walking With Monsters," and if you are into mammals (lame) "Walking With Beasts."

I'm skipping "Walking With Cavemen" though, for the same reason I avoid "Riding the Train at Night With Modern Man." I just feel more comfortable if there's at least one woman.
