Dinosaurs Could Hold Basketballs, But Not Dribble

Gre7g writes "Long before the invention of the photocopier, mud was the ideal way to preserve an image of your butt. 'We got lucky with this one [sitting] on a slope,' which brought its hands closer to the ground, said study author Andrew Milner of the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm. Full disclosure: My wife did the artistic reconstruction."

Long before the invention of the photocopier, mud was the ideal way to preserve an image of your butt.

Some of us still consider mud to be far superior. Photocopiers may be more convenient, but they really can't compare with mud for capturing detail without distortion.

Now I'm going to be flamed by a lot of Xerox fan boys. For the last time: the best technology is the technology that works best for you!

who wishes us to believe dinosaurs could evolve to hold a basketball. the holy truth is of course intelligent dribbling, probably taught by 3 point all star jesus himself to intelligent basketball playing dinosaurs on jurassic half courts

Re:Where's the basketball?

Sorry. National Geographic reduced the content way down to just the highlights. The original research is about the angles of their wrists and how we could see that in the mud imprints, but I thought it would be better to post the big name link rather than the high detail one.

Toronto Raptors!

Fear these Toronto Raptors because they can hold basketballs, dribble, and sometimes shoot!
