Museum IDs New Species of Dinosaur
Uryugen writes "A new dinosaur species was a plant-eater with yard-long horns over its eyebrows, suggesting an evolutionary middle step between older dinosaurs with even larger horns and the small-horned creatures that followed, experts said.
The dinosaur's horns, thick as a human arm, are like those of triceratops — which came 10 million years later. However, this animal belonged to a subfamily that usually had bony nubbins a few inches long above their eyes"

Political discussion for a new world
Humans got the evolutionary shaft.
Human: "Oooh, look at me! I've got an enlarged Broca's region in my frontal lobe! DE-FENSE!"
Zuniceratops: "Oh yeah? Well how about this--BAM, the ole' horn in the eye!"
Good thing we're separated by millions of years...

My work here is dung.
Or it proves that God's a really devious bastard who likes to test our faith by leaving fake fossils to fool the unbelievers.
init 11 - for when you need that edge.
The first dinosaur categorized as "Herbivore and incidental carnivore" whenever it happened to accidentally spear something tasty hiding behind the plant it was eating.
Not at all. The fossils are real, but the dinosaurs co-existed with humans relatively recently, probably between the time when God created the Earth and the middle ages - and some dinosaurs probably still exist today. I can prove all of this because it's written in an old book. It's also written plainly in the Dinosaur article on Conservapedia.
(I'm thinking of signing up as a Conservapedia editor purely to expand on articles like these.)
Cool, a new source of oil!
And you guys said it wasn't renewable. See, that's why I like science. They are always finding new species. More oil. More oil. I'm going to go buy a Hummer.
Dino-Poop Power for the People.
Wait...Oh, I see the flaw. Nevermind.
Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong fix.
Conservapedia have done it, they have beaten wikipedia!
Yes, Wikipedia are no-longer the least authoritative source of information on the internet.

I've obviously been getting involved in too many evolution-related debates.
I am surprised whales don't have horns.
You too, huh? I feel the same. It's one of the most surprising things I know. It's just baffling. I'm not even sure I believe it -- it just seems so far-fetched.
Yet amazingly -- it's true! They don't have horns! Unless you glue one or more horns on! Which is very dangerous to you *and* the whale, trust me on that.
Whence? Hence. Whither? Thither.
Can we call this one a Brontosaurus and settle the whole problem?
