Hadrosaur Proteins Sequenced
jd writes "In a follow-up study to the one on proteins found in a T. Rex bone, the team responsible for the T. Rex study sequenced proteins found in an 80-million year old Hadrosaur fossil. According to the article, the proteins found confirm the results of the T. Rex study, proving that what was found in T. Rex was not a result of modern contamination, as had been claimed by skeptics, but was indeed the genuine thing: real dinosaur protein. Furthermore, despite the new fossil being 12 million years older, they claim they got more out — eight collagen peptides and 149 amino acids from four different samples. This, they say, places the Hadrosaur in the same family as T. Rex and Ostriches, but that not enough was recovered to say just how close or distant the relationship was."
Maybe we should start using stimulus money to build some type of theme park, maybe on a remote island.
Not very, I'm afraid. On the plus side, it should allow the Large Hadrosaur Collider to produce an earth devouring black hole with gigantic teeth and a tough scaly hide.
If you get two of them, put fake red noses on them and slam them together really hard, you might see the higgs-bozo particle.
hmm. I know there is a shorter way to get to that punch line.

Why waste money on the fake red noses rather than just use Bozosaurs to begin with?

You need to use the correct professional units, such as VW beetles, or Libraries of Congress. None of this soccer ball business.
