New Dinosaur Named After the Eye of Sauron
SchrodingerZ writes "95 million years ago, the dinosaur Sauroniops pachytholus roamed northern Africa. Fossils, originally found in southern Morocco, only consisted of the upper skull, which included the eerie looking eye socket which resembles the Eye of Sauron from the Lord of the Rings movies. Using skull comparison, it is theorized the two-legged meat-eater would have been 40 feet tall, challenging the Tyrannosaurus Rex in height. More fossils are needed for a full analysis, but so far it is very clear this dinosaur towered over many."
Wow, the nerds HAVE taken over!
I won't worry until I start seeing names like "therewerenofuckingelvesathelmdeepiop".
I find it hard to wrap my mind around calling a 95 million year old fossil "new."
[Sir Garlon] is the marvellest knight that is now living, for he destroyeth many good knights, for he goeth invisible.
Umm, ahh...
Ooops.
Aaahhh.
DAMNIT!
If you tell Peter Jackson, we'll get that Jurassic-Park-with-Hobbits tie-in movie we always wanted.
I had a nerd-gasm for nothing?
how about Dinosauron?
The fact that comments like this can get modded up highly is the reason why I'm still coming back to slashdot.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
Yeah, you could bottle the virginity here and sell it to the rich and sexually jaded.

Gates and Mark got those women by not being creepy, social retards like the vast majority of Slashdotters are. Felicia Day is also not a creepy, social retard.
