Museum IDs New Species of Dinosaur

Posted by Hemos on from the dinosuars-rock dept.

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"

    Am I the only one who chuckles whenever they read or hear the word "nubbins"?

      I, for one, have already chuckled when I heard the word "nubbin."

      O'Malley: Where's the mouse on this thing?

      Doc: It has one of those little red rubber dot thingies on the keyboard. That's way better than a mouse. I call it the nubbin. Who wants to touch my nubbin?

    I swear, if it weren't for the creationists, you morons wouldn't have even a single particle of interest in any scientific development that doesn't go into either your computer case or Star Trek. How sad are the comments on every single science story here?
